3. Calling all new and returning Davis High School Track and Field Athletes: Now is the time to get ready for the 2011 season. Preseason conditioning sessions begin now, and DHS track and field athletes not involved in a winter DHS sport should attend. The workouts will focus on three specific areas: event-specific training, strength and explosion, and speed development. Over the past few seasons, our work in December and January has proven critical in our section and conference championship efforts. So come on out, join your team and don't fear the hard work. Preseason conditioning is open to new and returning track and field athletes including ninth graders, no prior experience required! We meet every Monday through Thursday at 4pm at the DHS Track. Once again, track and field preseason conditioning meets Monday through Thursday at 4pm at the track. Visit www.dhstrack.com<http://www.dhstrack.com/> or Coach Elliott in room L-25.

4. The nurse says a huge thank you to all the students that came out to help at the blood drive on Friday. We registered 106 donors and collected 85 pints of life saving blood! We also had 63 first time donors come out to give blood. Just remember you may never meet the people you have helped save but know that you have touched their lives. It could be a student in one of your classes, the person in the fast lane driving slow that won't get out of your way or maybe a longtime friend or family member that received blood from the blood drive you helped host. Just know that you have helped save so many lives. You should be very proud of what you all achieved.
