These students earned the most stickers at their grade level by working hard on First In Math over February vacation.  Congratulations & keep up the great work!

Wolf Trot 5K April 5th



Lynn Woods School - Wolf Trot 5K

Saturday, April 5, 2014 - START TIME:  11AM

@ Great Woods Road Entrance, Lynn Woods Reservation.

The Lynn Woods Wolf Trot is a race through Lynn Woods – a 5K (LONG RACE) and 3K (SHORT RACE) open to the public.  Funds raised defray costs for Nature’s Classroom Trip (5th grade) and build the classroom funds for all other grades.

CAN YOU OR YOUR BUSINESS BE A RACE SPONSOR?

A $100 donation puts you or your business name on our race t-shirt.

The biggest costs associated with racing events are timing and t-shirts.  Last year our sponsors helped us cover all operating costs, which means more money for cool programs and activities at Lynn Woods School!

CAN YOU RUN or WALK with us on April 5th?

Our next biggest need is race participants.  We had 225 folks show up last year, and it was AWESOME, so share our race sign up information with everyone you know.    The first 100 registrants get a complimentary race t-shirt.  Run or walk, short or long race…we need your participation.  Teams welcome as well!!!  Paper registration forms or sign up on active.com.

CAN YOU HELP in other ways?

Donations of healthy snacks:  oranges, bananas, grapes, snack bars, etc. (NO NUTS PLEASE!)

Drinks for runners (bottled water and/or sports drinks)

Market your own products or services to race participants

Volunteers needed for registration, race timing, race course (to make sure no one gets lost or injured)

and post race refreshments.

A Powerful Olympic Poem by Robert D in Grade 3


Oh my I just heard the Olympics are starting!

Last place does not deserve to be champion but trying….YES!

Yet trying does not mean medals, only winners have them.

Main event, every four years and a big competition.

Participants play for the prize and pride

Indeed, during the opening ceremony the torch flies with flame.

Certain times an athlete wins a lot - and certain times they lose

Sportsmanship is needed to play for international champion and for changing the world.

We have claimed this title 3 times in a row !
