Measure B
On Tuesday, June 7, 2016, the voters in the Brentwood School District
will be asked to consider Measure B, a local school bond. Bond funds
will be used to renovate and modernize the older schools, upgrade
libraries, science and computer labs, and build a new elementary school
to avoid overcrowding. In addition, Measure B funds will be used to
improve school security at building entrances and to replace and
upgrade security systems.

athletes have been working hard in the hopes that they will qualify in
the Delta Valley Middle School Track & Field Invitational sponsored by
Les Schwab Tires and hosted by Freedom High School. At this
Invitational we hope to win the All Girls & All Boys trophies as we did
last year. This year as a joint team when we combine our 6th, 7th,
8th grade teams both Male and Female we are undefeated as a school.
Track is a unique sport for have over 100 kids on our team, and many of
these athletes complete in up to four different events which include
100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 4x100, 4x400 meter races and the high
jump, long jump, and shot put. We are the only school in our league that
is fortunate to have 3 full time coaches which include Jill Dalldorf,
Kara Clapp and Vannest Brown. This season we've had incredible parent
support in running 3 home track meets which requires over 20 parent
volunteers and last over 2 hours each meet. Many other schools
struggle to find coaches to support this program, nor do they have the
luxury of practicing at a high school track on a daily basis as the Adams
team does thanks to Heritage High School. Unfortunately, the
equipment is expensive for track. This year the high jump standards
have broke due to constant use in the last ten years. We don't know
the Heritage's plans for replacing them nor do we know how long the
mat and high jump bar will last. New quality standards are over
$750.00 and that does not include the bar upon which it rests. If we
can find a metal worker/welder that can repair the high jump standard
this would be ideal
