Sports Day drops once every semester. its pretty much the same as our track and field days back home, sans the 'field' activities. each grade splits up classes and holds relay races between them to determine which one dominates over the others, holding bragging rights until the next scheduled clash. the elementary school i work at had theirs last week. the principal asked me if i'd participate in it. of course i said id do it, although i think they expected a little more out of me than what i actually produced. as many of you know i'm not as fast i appear to be. so when i was paired up against the kid who's claimed to be one of, if not the fastest, 12 year old in the county, it came to no surprise to me when i was dusted right off the line. ha! our team of teachers still managed to snag the blue ribbon with the help of a quick footed Canadian and a dropped baton from the parent squad. we'll be back next semester to defend our title. reigning champs, what. the kids' races were fun to watch too. one race had even about 6 lead changes and came down to the last runners, which made it hilariously exciting. here are some action shots...(Warning: some images may be blurry due to my bullet like speed making it nearly impossible to catch a clear shot of the quickness that is teacher Mike. so don't worry...your eyes are fine)
