Track and Field Day

One of my favorite days of the year is Track and Field Day.  Mrs. DePierre and all the middle school student volunteers do a fantastic job of organizing and running this fun day of friendly competition.  The weather was fantastic, and parents and supporters filled the stands to cheer on their children!

A very special moment to see Tyler who began in the year on crutches with two broken legs not only running every race at Track and Field, but WINNING!! 
Way to go Tyler!!

More than anything, Track and Field is a fun day with friends. 
Thanks to Mrs. DePierre and all the helpers who made it awesome (again!)
