RunJonahRun is a local 5K race. The proceeds benefit the Pulmonary Hypertension Association and the treatment and research of pediatric pulmonary hypertension.

 

I am reaching out to you to see if any of your students would be willing to volunteer at the race to receive volunteer hours. The race takes place November 11, 2017 in the back parking lot of Blackman High School. If this is something your school would consider, please forward my information to any student willing to volunteer. The hours would be 5:30 AM - 9:30 AM. I would discuss specifics with each volunteer.

 

I hope we can join together to fight this rare disease that took my son, Jonah, at the age of ten. I look forward to hearing from you.

Congratulations to the boys and girls high school cross country teams for an outstanding showing at the Trinity/Valkyrie Invitational in Louisville this past weekend. Varsity girls finished 6th in their division and varsity boys were 8th. The boys were paced by sophomore Fuji Anday with a time of 16:56 while the girls were led by senior Camille Smith in a time of 19:18, finishing third overall. The JV boys team captured 5th place. The Trinity/Valkyrie Invitational is a nationally renowned running event so this showing for your Tiger squads is to be commended. Your Tiger striders return to action over fall break.
