2021 BMS 6th Grade Track Meet at Gwinn
Date: Wednesday, May 5th
Where: Meet in Gwinn (50 M-35, Gwinn, MI 49841)
Time: Bus will leave BMS at 2:30pm (meet starts at 3:30pm) bus will return to the front of BMS by 7:00pm.
Bus Transportation: Transportation to the meet will be by MAPS school bus. The bus will be leaving BMS at
2:30 after the students are released early from afternoon classes. We will return to as soon as the meet is over
and should be back to BMS around 7:00pm. We will not be stopping for food so please bring a healthy snack.
Alternative Transportation Home: If you would like to make alternate arrangements for transportation home
from the meet, your parent / guardian must give one of the coaches a signed note explaining who you will be
leaving the meet with. Notes must be given to coaches prior to the bus leaving for R-M and must include the
student’s full name, parent’s full name & signature & the full name of the adult the student is to be released to
at the conclusion of the meet. Students leaving the meet with parents / relatives must stay for the entire meet
and should not leave prior to the bus departing for Marquette. Students should inform the coach at the time of
their departure that they are leaving with a parent and had a note. Again, all students will ride the bus both ways
unless a coach gets this permission slip prior to departing for the meet. There will be no exceptions to this
policy.
Equipment / Clothing: Make sure you wear shorts and bring warm-up pants and appropriate shoes to the meet
(You will be receiving your BMS track shirt at practice prior to the meet.) You should also bring a water bottle,
a jacket and maybe even rain gear (depending on the weather) and something to keep all this stuff in during the
day such as a backpack or duffle bag. Please do not bring valuables (i-pods, portable video games) to the meet
and make sure to label the items you do bring.
Food: We will not be stopping for food on Wednesday and concessions will not be available at the meet so
please plan accordingly. Make sure you eat a good lunch and bring a healthy snack with you to eat on the bus or
after your events. Healthy snacks include fruit, granola bars, small sandwiches and juice. Energy drinks and or
candy bars are not appropriate snacks to take to a track meet and should not be packed.
