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.
