We had an extremely busy May for our Casa -Grade 8 athletes. On May 14th, our Casa through Grade 4 students participated in their Wheatley Track and Field Meet. Competitors were involved in 60 m. and 100 m. runs at the track. Field events included the ball throw, standing long jump, and the running long jump. Thank you to our Grade 7 and 8 classes for running all the events so well. On May 16th, our 60 member Grade 3-8 cross-country team competed with Beacon, Calvary, NCC, and Eagle’s Nest schools in the spring meet here at Wheatley.
