Hello Parkside Families!
We are in need of a Track & Field Coach for the Spring Season! We have 20 5th-8th grade students ready to RUN! The previous coach is no longer able to coach, so we are in great need of a new coach! The season starts April 19th and goes through May. There are about 5 meets for the season.
If interested please contact Ms. Huebschen at [email protected] or message here for the needed paperwork!
We appreciate your consideration!
