Another wonderful track season has come to a close.  The children had fun, used up some of their energy, and parents cheered them on as they ran, jumped and/or threw.  All this would not have been possible without the help of our amazing coaches.  Thank you so much to all of you especially to Coach Cynthia and Jeff De Vor for running the program.  You all did such an awesome job!!!
