Hello families!  Higgins is very excited to be sending 130 students to our Divisional Track & Field meet.  We want to thank the many volunteers who are donating their time to make this event happen.

We have confirmed two food trucks, which were mentioned in the Parent Letter that went home to families, but the exact trucks were not known at the time. Family Cheesed Truck (offering student friendly and some Halal options) and a Treat Truck, will be joining us for the event.  You can view the prices and menu for these trucks on YYC Food Trucks (please understand that some menu items may not be available for the meet). Please ensure your athlete has a packed lunch, or enough money to purchase food, throughout the event.

This year, thanks to the generosity of the School Council, we have two 10 x 10 tarps with the Higgins' logo that will making their debut with us; however, we cannot stress the importance of sun-safety. Please make sure that your athlete has a hat, sunscreen, and the appropriate layering as we don't want anyone getting sick or having to leave the event early from getting too much sun.

We would also like to thank Norton Rose Fulbright, an international law firm in Calgary, who has been partnered with Dr. Gordon Higgins Schoolf for almost 30 years. Norton Rose Fulbright is providing every student and volunteer a water bottle with the Higgins logo, as well as paying for all buses to and from the track meet. A huge shout out to Norton Rose Fulbright for their continued support.  You spoil us!

Finally, thank you to every athlete, student-volunteer, parent, guardian, volunteer, teacher, coach, and anyone that I might have missed, who has made the 2023-2024 athletic year a success!  It takes a village to make each year memorable for our students and we could not have done it without your efforts!
