Dear Parents,
I hope your child had a pleasant long weekend. I understand that there was a lot of soccer played on Saturday and Sunday and that the students played with heart. Mary Heller has asked me to spread the news that we'll be hosting an Invitational X-C running race this Wednesday, Oct. 26. All TGS students are welcome and encouraged to participate. We'll have a course walk at 3:30. I would be more than happy to offer a homework free night if it would encourage participation.
Immediately following the course walk: .5 mile race for 6-8 year olds, 1 mile race for 9-11 year olds, and 1.5 mile race for 12-14 year olds.
We need teams of at least three TGS boys and three TGS girls in each age group to qualify for the team trophies.
Thanks so much for rallying the troops.
On a separate note, I am attaching a link to an interesting New York Times article on education. It's thought provoking.
