Grade 7s hold their own Olympics at RSS

The grade 7 students at RSS recently held their own Greco-Roman Olympics last week.  They were challenged to run these Olympic games without any modern timing or measuring mechanisms. 

After an opening ceremony and an athletes oath, students competed in two wrestling events, long jump with rocks in their hands, javelin, sprints and a marathon.  Another highlight of the day was a Greek and Italian lunch provided by the parents.  The team from Argos narrowly beat the Spartans to claim the title as overall Olympic champions. 

The penthalon champions were Allie Stanley and Cooper Tedesco.
