Today we had the first ever full day track meet at Sandwich Secondary. We took 9 buses and almost 500 students from grade 3 to 8 to run on a full size 400m track, jump in sand pits and throw shot puts in a top notch facility. What a great day for our students, lots of smiles and time spent with each other. It could not have happened without the time and dedication of our staff and a huge thanks goes out to them. Here are some pics from the day. Enjoy.
