Cross Country Update

Based on the size of this season’s turnout for the Cross Country team, we may be looking for parent volunteers to join the students on their TUESDAY and THURSDAY afternoon training runs. You can email the Booster Club at [email protected] if you are interested in volunteering.


Intramural Girls Lacrosse

SPMS Athletic Boosters is gauging interest for Girls Lacrosse as an intramural sport in the fall (October/November). If you are interested, please complete this Google Form and provide the requested information as soon as possible.

General info (subject to change): Practice sessions may be held on Thursday and Friday afternoons from 3:00-4:30 on the athletic field. Some scrimmages with other middle schools may be scheduled.

Basic equipment would be provided though all students who attend would be responsible for brining their own mouth guards. Students who continue with the sport may want to purchase their own lacrosse sticks.

We are currently seeking stick and goggle donations. If you would like to donate, please contact us here: [email protected]

Intramural  Ultimate Frisbee  

Last Wednesday we had an amazing 50-student turnout for our first intramural sport, Ultimate Frisbee–a mix of basketball, football, and soccer played with a frisbee! We kicked off the season with fun raffle prizes (Frisbees! Ice cream coupons!). A heartfelt thank you to the tireless and always game Intramurals Coordinator, Gina Wilson for leading the program each Monday and Wednesday afternoon. Remember that intramurals are open to all students with a parent’s permission slip. It is not too late to join the fun!
