That's it! The 2020-2021 Running Team Season has come to an end! Thank you, Miss Staropoli, for helping me manage attendance and zooms! You're an awesome co-sponsor! Thank you, Mrs. Sefcik, for helping me manage the runners every Wednesday! Your experience and words of wisdom were always welcomed and appreciated! Finally, to the parents, thank you for allowing your child to try-out and be a part of this running team! This year was difficult, but we had a lot of fun and released a lot of endorphins to get us through the year!

A special thank you to: Mrs. Aguillon, Mrs. Quiroz, Mrs. Torres, Mrs. Buckler, and Mrs. Licon (our counselor). I can't do this party by myself, thank you for your help and donations.

4th and 5th graders are automatically on the running team next year. Look for announcements about when we will begin next year. Beach to Bay is in October, we we need to start training!!

Have a great summer! See you in 2021-2022!

I’m so proud of the runners! This year was different, but we still had a lot of fun!
We will miss our 6th graders, but we wish them well as they move on to middle school next year. Also, all students who are currently on this year’s running team are automatically on the running team next year. No try-outs for you! Look for announcements next year about when the Running Team will begin practices.
