Lightning Run

On Wednesday, June 7, International Run Day, JLPS grade 6, 7 and 8 students participated in our very first Lightning Run. The students trained for 7 weeks, building their stamina and preserving through many minutes of running. The grade 6s trained to be able to run 3km and the grades 7 and 8s trained to complete 5km. The sun was shining, the music was  blaring and the anticipation was high as we all began this momentous occasion. We  ran through our community, greeting many neighbors as we ran by.  Our students accomplished a great feat and we are all very proud of them.

Thank-you to Mr. Pereria and Ms. Colussi for helping with the organizing of the event. Thank-you to Mr. Parfeniuk, 
Mr. Meagher, Ms. Hewlett, Mr. Pereira and Mrs. Angellotti for running with our students. Thank-you to all staff and parents who helped man a station, or supervise our students while they were running and thank-you to all staff and students who came out to cheer our students as they crossed the finish line.

The Lightning Run is now firmly established as another yearly event that our students will take part in and one that helps to build our school community stronger.

Go lightning!
