Cross Country Field Day

The kids' school recently held a cross country field day. Each grade was able to participate & a great run was had by all!

The Brent school divides the children into two teams... Team Azure & Team Gold. Depending on which team you are on, you will wear that color of shirt on "house event" days. Throughout the year, the students participate in small competitions that pit the Azure & Gold teams against each other. Even the teachers get involved, as they are also assigned a "house color". It is all in good fun & the kids enjoy participating in some healthy competition events.

During the cross country event, each grade was assigned a certain distance to run. The younger kids ran one small lap, while the first graders ran two laps & it increased from there on. The middle & high schoolers were assigned a certain amount of laps to complete around the entire school grounds. It was fun cheering for our family's house color, Team Gold!
