District Track Meet in Marshall

     Last week Marshall School hosted the district track meet for the elementary and middle school students. Overall it was a success, there were some minor hiccups but for the most part things ran smoothly. One major bummer was the cold wind and rain. The entire time the students were running the wind howled and it rained sideways. Now before you say "duh its Alaska, of course it's cold" right now it is sunny and 54 degrees at 8:30 at night. Even though it was cold the students braved the elements and ran good races. Marshall had two students race and they each placed in eighth place in their races.

Teams were arriving while we were still teaching so they had to put their stuff in the gym

My friend Jana, she was wearing a bag over her walking cast. Unfortunately the bag had holes in the bottom and by the end of the meet her cast was pretty dirty and wet.

      After a few cold hours of standing in the rain the teachers went inside the school and had a great lunch and laughed for about an hour straight. We will all have to get together again soon. We had a great time.
