You Are Invited: Kick Off Summer with the Little Feet Meet

MARION — Marion Community Schools' Young Champions program invites families to kick off the summer season with us at the Little Feet Meet on Saturday, May 21, at the Marion High School sports complex!
 
This school year, MCS joined an exclusive group of schools across the state participating in Champions Together, an exciting partnership between the Indiana High School Athletic Association and Special Olympics, which offers students of all abilities the opportunity to participate in athletics together. Young Champions is a partner program that aims to help children explore physical activities and sports, and to develop skills for future participation in athletic training and competition. The Young Champions program promotes learning, achievement, and enjoyment of physical activity and athletics.
 
The Little Feet Meet is a fun-filled event for students in preschool through eighth grade and their families. Coming the day after school ends for MCS students, the Little Feet Meet is a great way to kick off an active summer! There will be five track event stations for participants, with kids separated by age, 3 to 7 and 8 to 14. There will also be lunch available (hot dogs, popcorn, water), goodie bags for participants, and other fun activities.
 
The Little Feet Meet begins at 10 a.m. Saturday, May 21, at Dick Lootens Stadium at Marion High School, and it will run through noon.
 
Registration for this event has now been opened up to ALL Marion kids! Registration is required in advance, though there is no cost to participate. Registration forms are available at all MCS school offices, and online at www.marion.k12.in.us, in the News Blog and on the Special Services Department page.
 
The registration deadline has been extended, but we are asking that you register your child as soon as possible if you wish to participate.
 
We hope to see you here! For more information, contact the MCS Special Services Department, 662-2546.
