Middle School Sports Program
The middle school interscholastic sports program will continue a modified sports program. It consists of softball and cross-country in the fall, basketball in the winter and soccer in the spring. Only seventh and eighth grade students can participate. There will be both a boys and girls mixed grade level team for each sport. A reminder that students must pay the $30 activity fee in order to play on a Banneker sports team. STUDENTS MUST HAVE A CURRENT PHYSICAL ON FILE IN THE HEALTH ROOM PRIOR TO TRYING OUT for a sports team.
Physical Education (P.E.) Uniforms
We would like to inform you in advance of the materials your child will need in September for participation in his/her daily Physical Education class. Students are required to change clothes for physical activity.
All students need a Banneker P.E. uniform – T-shirt (plain gray) and shorts (plain royal blue or plain black mesh)
- Students can purchase uniforms through the P.E. department fundraiser with the Banneker logo beginning the first week of school for $23.00 This price includes one 2-color Banneker gray T-shirt ($10) and one 2-color royal blue or black mesh pair of shorts ($13)
- As a substitute: Students may wear an ash/gray plain T-shirt (absolutely no writing or design) and a royal blue or black mesh pair of shorts (plain, no writing or design). No other colors or substitutes will be accepted
- On colder days, your student may require sweatpants and a sweatshirt. You can purchase a Banneker sweatshirt for $23 (hooded). Sweatpants can also be purchased for $18
- As a substitute: Students may wear plain gray/ash sweatshirt and sweatpants (plain, no writing or design)
- Socks and a pair of tennis shoes with laces or Velcro fasteners
- The locker room usage fee is $3.00
We provide clean towels daily and miscellaneous items. Students are responsible for making sure their clothing, uniforms, and other belongings are securely locked in their assigned P.E. locker. Theft can occur if students do not properly secure their belongings. The school is not responsible for stolen belongings.
The Banneker P.E. uniform and locker room usage fee may be paid during your child’s physical education class beginning on the second day of school. Other items that your student may need through other departments can also be purchased during their physical education period the first week of school. A worksheet of potential expenses has been included with this newsletter. Please fill out the items you wish to purchase and send this worksheet and one check for the total purchases, beginning August 27. DO NOT SEND MONEY/CHECK ON THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL.
We will continue to sell uniforms and other items through P.E. classes during the first week of school. After the first week of school, uniforms will be available for purchase in the school store while the supplies last. Students will need to be prepared to dress in uniform on Tuesday, September 2.
All parents are invited to attend BACK TO HEALTH NIGHT 2008-2009 on Thursday, September 18, 2008 from 7:00-8:00 p.m in Room 236. An overview of the Health Program will be presented.
