Track and Field 2021

“New-to-us” Track Meet for GRADES 4-6

The Grades 4-6 track meet took place over two days so that we could stay in our cohort groups and stay safe. Last year’s event was cancelled due to Covid so our students and staff were extremely excited to be able to run a modified meet this year. The Grade 4s (morning) and 6s (afternoon) got things rolling on Tuesday June 22^nd and the Grade 5s finished it off on Wednesday, June 23 at the Wainwright High School track. Temperatures were hot and dry on Tuesday and decent with a little wind on Wednesday. Students participated in a competitive, yet all inclusive, track meet with five events at the new WHS track while the other two events took place in regular Phys. Ed. class time to adhere to cohort groups and time constraints. The five events included two running (100 m dash, 200 m race) two jumping (long jump and high jump) and one throwing event (distance throw). The Open Mile and the 50 m Hurdles took place during class time. We, at WES, are proud of all of our students who came out and participated in the day. We have two success stories from the meet. Story number 1 had a boy in Grade 4 who had earned a few ribbons decide to donate (give) one of his ribbons to a special needs student because he had been working so hard during the events. Story number 2 had a student in Grade 5 tell the scoring table worker that he had in fact gotten 3^rd and another boy who he pointed out had actually earned second place in the race. Modeling citizenship is always about doing the right thing and not always about wins and losses. Competition is always trumped by humanity. Well done students!
