The parish and school’s CYO Cross Country team is in need of parents to fulfill many of the key leadership roles. Cross Country is one of our most popular extracurricular activities for both parents and students. The success of this program (6 time consecutive champions) largely depends on your leadership and stewardship. Outlined below are the most urgent needs at this time. A short description of each role is detailed below. Once these leadership roles are filled the team hopes to begin practices on Tuesday, September 6. There will be an in-formal practice this Friday, 9/2, for all grades and and parents from 5:45pm-6:45pm at Metro Hill in Lower Woodland Park if you’d like to come out and learn more about the program and volunteer opportunities.
