By Sora O'Doherty
Miramonte Principal Julie Parks hopes to fill the stands for the first home football game on Aug. 17, which will also be the annual Mat's Day when students receive their schedules and ensure they are ready for the first day of school. This year, Mat's Day will be offered in the evening in the big gym so that students can enjoy the opening night of Matador football. The game will begin at 7 p.m. and all students and families are invited to cheer on the team. Snacks will be available at the snack shack. Leadership will be planning spirit activities for the evening and the school is hoping to make this a big night for all Orinda to celebrate the beginning of the school year. The annual athletic health screening will also be held from 3 to 6 p.m. Aug. 17 in the Miramonte Band Room.
The following day, from 9 a.m. to noon, Miramonte will host the annual sprint distance Nor-Cal Kids Triathlon. Kids ages 4 to 14 are invited to participate in this fun event that encourages exercise in a fun environment. Offered for 2018 are individual divisions from ages 4 to 14 years old. There will not be a relay division this year. Registration ends Aug. 16 at noon and registration information can be found online at https://www.trisignup.com/Race/CA/Orinda/NorCalKidsTriathlon.
Miramonte will host the Senior Barbecue from 5 to 7 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 19 in the senior parking lot. After this busy weekend, students throughout Lamorinda will report for the first day of school on Monday, Aug. 20.
