Cross Country Meet #2

Yesterday was perfect for running! I am so proud of our cross country team. The loop is longer than last year and some finish crying they push themselves so hard but they are showing up and finishing! Last race is Tuesday October 10th at Bateman Park. Go Suns!

National Truth and Reconciliation

Tansi everyone. My name is Mrs. Ellis and I am a part of the Cree Nation from Flin Flon Manitoba but have lived on the traditional territory of the Sto:lo people, The Semá:th and Mathxwí First Nations my whole life.

Cross Country Meet #1

The Sandy Hill cross country team was well represented with close to sixty runners this year. The course was changed at the last minute due to a soccer game on one field but the kids accepted the challenge and did fantastic. The new course actually ended up being a little longer and we are sticking with it, meaning we will have to run a bit more at our recess practices to be prepared. Many students placed in the top twenty and all of them conquered some nerves and finished the race. Well done Sandy Hill Suns!
