This spring will be our 36th Annual Elementary School Track & Field season.
PROGRAM MISSION STATEMENT
The vision of the Federal Way Public Schools is that every student will possess a set of skills to become a successful participant in society. In the Federal Way Public Schools, education attends to the intellectual, emotional, and physical development of each as a life long learner, competent and responsible in academic and social endeavors.
Our elementary Track Program, which services over 2000 students, no cost, provides a healthy outlet for students to participate in outside physical activity. Every student will be provided training and athletic competition in track and field.
Our program creates opportunities to develop physical fitness, experience the joy of accomplishment, realize and appreciate diversity among individuals, inclusion in community and school related activities, and to build skills and friendships.
