For the fourth year, Mabry will have both Boy's and Girls Flag Football Leagues during Morning Intramurals. Boys will play either on Thursday or Friday depending on their team. All girl's teams will play on Wednesday. Returning players do not have to turn in a registration form unless they are purchasing a new shirt. Team colors and screens have stayed the same so if a returning player still has their old shirt, there is no need to purchase a new one. Returning players do however need to let Coach Graber know they intend to play by signing the returning player list on the bulletin board outside the entrance to the covered play area. New players which would consist of any 6th graders and 7th and 8th graders who did not play last year need to turn in a registration form no later than Friday September 8th. You may print one by clicking on the document below or obtain one from the bulletin board in the hall outside the Covered Play Area.

As has been the tradition in past years, 2 captains will be selected for each of our intramurals flag football teams. The captains are responsible for attending the Draft meeting with Coach Graber as well as making sure that the team has a high level of unity and that every member gets an equal opportunity to participate. The position of captain is open to all returning 8th grade players, however due to the incredible increase in interest in the captain position we are incorporating an application.
How to apply:
Download the application, fill it out and turn it in to Coach Graber no later than Wednesday August 30, 2006.

Every teacher has a set of class rules they want their students to abide by, mine are pretty short and straight forward.
Ms. McCall's Class Rules
- Dress out properly each day.
- Participate fully each day.
- Display good sportsmanship each day.
- Respect others and their property.
- Have fun and be open to new games and experiences!
Parents & Students: Please refer to the PE dept. regulations and policies for all other questions and rules.
Each student was given a PE signature packet to read and sign along with their parents the first day of school.
Please turn the signed papers into your homeroom teachers and they will get them back to us!
**please have parents make special notes on that sheet for any medical restrictions the student may have that would limit PE participation. For example; exercise induced asthma, allergies/epi-pens, injured joints, medications, etc.
Parents, If there are any questions please e-mail me at tracy.mccall@cobbk12.org instead of calling my school voicemail. Being a PE teacher keeps me away from a phone almost every minute of the school day. I will respond to my e-mails as quickly as possible, I promise!
also as far as supplies we always need band aids and Jolly Ranchers!
Thanks! Ms. McCall

Another school year approaches and I am filled with anxious anticipation for what I am sure is going to be a terrific year at Mabry Middle.
I had a great summer and am returning to school refreshed and ready for action.
My most exciting summer moment so far has been seeing one of my former student's dreams come to life.
Jake Owen, RCA Country Music recording Artist, released his first album, "Startin' with Me" on July 25th and his first single, "Yee Haw", has been among the top 20 on the charts for weeks. Go pick up his debut album, it's awesome! Check out Jake's new website at this link Jake Owen and get all the scoop on this amazing country music singer/songwriter! Jake is opening for Kenny Chesney next wknd at Philips and I am going to be there to cheer him on!

Jake is a great example for setting your goals high and going after them with a determination and passion that will get things done! Remember...Anything is possible if you work hard!
