We received our banner and check from BCBS this week! Students are already enjoying our new swings on the large playground. We are looking forward to adding even more equipment that will help us  incorporate fitness and nutrition into our curriculum.

Registration is open and we will be participating again this year. The PE Dept. will keep a log sheet to record our miles and we'll pick up and distribute race packets. The only thing you will need to do is register your child. We hope to have a another great turnout this year. Here is the link for the marathon so you can register and find out more information.
