A huge THANK YOU to all the parents who brought their Kindergarten – 5th grade students out to run on behalf of Saint James School in the Frank Rizza Manchester Elementary School Cross Country Challenge on Saturday.  It was a beautiful day for this fun, town-wide event.

Our runners definitely shined on Saturday.  Saint James School took home two trophies for the school (based on scoring of the top 5 finishers in each race).  The 4th & 5th grade boys took home the 1st Place Trophy for Saint James School and the 4th & 5th Grade girls took home the 3rd Place Trophy for Saint James School!

We also had an amazing 17 of our 32 runners take home a medal (top 15 in their race)!  Isabelle Burke took 1st Place in the Girls 4th & 5th Grade race, Abigail Ray took 1st Place in the Girls 2nd & 3rd Grade race, Brock Goodwin took 2nd Place in the Boys 2nd & 3rd Grade race (each of which had over 150 runners!).  In addition, Jack Christina came in 3rd Place in the Boys 1st Grade race.

Also, a huge THANK YOU to all the SJS middle school students and parents who volunteered at the event.

For parents, grandparents, etc. who are planning to participate in the Veteran’s Day Ceremony being held at Saint James School on November 11th, please note the event will run from 10:00am-11:00am.

 

Thank you to all our parents who registered their child(ren) to run on behalf of Saint James School at the Cross Country Challenge tomorrow.

Please read the following details concerning tomorrow’s event:

Registration tables will be located outside the main gate to Memorial Field at Manchester High School.  Please arrive at the registration table 20-25 minutes prior to the race start time.  Children will pick up their race t-shirt shirt (if registration was sent in by by 10/4), name tag, and race tag.  Races will start promptly at the designated time, so please come early to allow for extra parking time and registration (it will be extremely busy at the High School on Saturday due to other events occurring at the same time).

For students registered after 10/4, please have them wear their SJS gym shirt.

All spectators (parents/guardians/siblings) MUST REMAIN OUTSIDE THE TRACK AND FIELD while kids are running.  Parents and siblings may not run with the racers.  There will be older students from cross country teams at the high school/middle school level who will be there to assist children on where to run.  Also, NO DOGS are allowed at the event.

The event will take place rain or shine.

If you have any questions, please e-mail our parent volunteer coordinator, Amy Guenther, at jag8699@cox.net.

We look forward to seeing you tomorrow morning for this fun, annual Manchester-wide event!
