5th Grade TROY Fitness Run Back in Person

For the first time since COVID forced the event to be virtual, the 2023 5th grade Troy Fitness Run was hosted in person by TSD elementary PE teachers Mark Cavataio, Christina Attard and Sarah Redden, and its return was welcomed by students, staff, families et. Al. On a bright, sunny day, busloads of 5th graders arrived at Boulan Park Middle School, excited to compete against themselves for their best running times. All students wore magnetized identification bibs so that the detector strip at the end of the race captured their times as they crossed the finish line. The fastest student crossed the line at 11.05, and the last student crossed at 23:45. But all who participated were winners!

After refeuling with bananas and water, the Run winners were announced: fastest 10 boy, fastest 10 girls and most participants (per school)---Wass Elementary came out on top claiming
all of these awards, and students boarded their buses for return to their schools tired, happy and feeling an amazing accomplishment. Said PE teacher Sarah Redden : "It is so wonderful to be able to have our event in person, and the students have been working hard and were so excited to best their own times!”
