Our students will be participating in
the 3rd annual Vinci Park Olympics.  Students have been placed on 2 teams- USA and Cuba.

On Monday morning, we will have team trial heats to choose the 4 fastest per team to be on the baton relay and next 8 fastest to be on the tag relay team.  The rest will be the team's spirit squad.  Mr Panelli has been working very hard in organizing these Olympics and I am sure we will all show our appreciation and cooperation!
   
   This year, they have added a Team Spirit Award and a 5th grade only Mr. and Miss Olympics honor for students showing outstanding spirit and cooperation.
