DAVIS HILL COMMUNITY UPDATE
October 15, 2018
Perfect timing to see the sun as we get ready for the Dragon Dash! See below for more information on the 'Dash'. Thank you to the PTA and all of our volunteers!
Kindly,
Jay C. Norton, Principal
*Don't forget to read through the entire update... there are always more dates in the Upcoming Events Section. If you have any questions/ concerns- please don't hesitate to contact me/ the office.
DRAGON DASH - Today!
Today is the big day! We currently have over 200 registered runners and expect more today. The weather is looking perfect.
Pre-registration - T-Shirts and bibs can be also be picked up today prior to the race from10:00-11:30am.
Still looking to run? We will have race day signups available for $30. Please bring cash or check (made out to Davis Hill PTA).
Kids Race - A free kids race for ages 5 and under will start at 11:30. Parents please sign your child up at the front of the school.
5K Race - Starts at noon.
Parking - Our route (posted on our website) has our start and finish line in the parking lot in front of the school. Parking spaces will be limited, so please consider carpooling and/or parking locally at a friend's house and walking up to the school. We also ask that cars enter and exit from the Highland Ave. driveway alongside the old Recreation Dept. building. Please avoid parking on Jamieson street as runners will need that space between Lovell Rd and the school entrance.
Spectators - please come and cheer on our runners. Post signs on your lawns to spur them along! Join us at the school for pre-race festivities, a DJ, and the awards ceremony.
Thank you so much to all who answered the call and signed up to volunteer! As we've said, this is one of our largest events and a family favorite. And , it takes MANY, MANY people to make it a success. We still need more helpers - especially course guides and cleanup crew. If you haven't volunteered already, please sign up here to help!
HOPE TO SEE YOU TODAY!
