TRACK MEET NEEDS YOU
Dear Parents,
Anza Elementary is scheduled for renovation this summer!!! Teachers will be packing and ready to move out on the last day of school. Because of the renovation and time requirements certain activities will be minimized towards the end of the school year or not done. One of the major time requirements is the Annual Track Meet. We need a head coach and group of dedicated people for this event to occur. If you are interested in being a coach for this event please let the office know.
