Wellington Meet Recap!
Our Cross Country teams competed at Wellington this past weekend, and this was one tough course! With steep hills, rough terrain, and wet conditions from the rain, our Trojans were truly tested. This is probably about as close as we’ll get to a true cross country course, and our athletes embraced the challenge!
Despite the difficult conditions, our Trojans had some fantastic performances!
⭐ High School
• Anneliese Barajas Larios — 4th Place
• Izaak Ross — 8th Place
⭐ Junior High
• Arturo Larios Chavez — 6th Place
• Christopher Seaman — 7th Place
• Nyla Codeluppi — 8th Place
We are so proud of the way our runners battled through the hills, mud, rain, and rough terrain. That’s cross country! 🏃♀️🏃♂️

Miss McCormack's 1st graders listened to the book, A Hero like You, prior to Patriot Day. They learned that heroes don't always have to be policemen, firemen, or teachers! Each student drew a picture and wrote about their hero, and then on September 11th they shared about their hero with their classmates. We found out that all HEROES HAVE HEART! ❤️Some heroes were even found within our South Central Elementary School.
We hope to see you at our 11th Annual Parade of Bands this Saturday. An evening filled with awesome musical performances by amazing, hard working, dedicated students from around the area.
