Cross Country News

9/16/2016

 
SAA gifted cross country team
Thanks to all who came out to cheer on our Eagles at their first meet held at Friendship Junior High in Des Plaines! What a great start to the season! We are happy to report that our 6th grade boys and our 8th grade girls both came in 2nd for the meet. Impressively, our 8th grade boys came in 1st!  In addition, our own Elia came in 1st place for her division!  Way to go, SAA!

SEL in Action
Kindness...compassion...teamwork:  that's what our Cross Country team members displayed at the first meet this week!  At the end of the meet, everyone was packing up and parents from other teams were beginning to head to their cars. Our coaches had gathered the team to talk together and end with a team cheer.  Some of the kids asked if the team could wait a minute...there was something they wanted to do. They had noticed that a girl from a different team was still running and struggling to finish. No one else seemed to even notice that there was still someone on the course. Our team ran over and ran alongside her...cheering her along all the way to the finish line!  What a great group of kids!
