Boys (249 total runners): Daniel Shank - 81st place - 17:40 Caleb Eckstein - 234th place - 20:11 Brandon Longo - Did Not Finish Daniel (sophomore) split time with soccer and still had a solid season, medaling at Counties and qualifying for Districts.

Good Afternoon Blazer Learning Community, I wanted to share a reminder to assist us with increasing the level of safety during dismissal. The front of the building is closed to through traffic from 2:24pm-2:30pm. This 6 minute window allows us a greater level of safety for our bus students and walkers who dismiss from door 1. This is a reminder that all parent pick ups should occur at door 36, the main gym entrance. Please note that we realize this causes parent pick up to be a bit slower than most would prefer, however the model provides our students with a high degree of safety when exiting the building. During this window of time, at approximately 2:28pm we pause all traffic on campus to allow our buses to exit via the driveway towards Route 345. This pause usually only lasts for 2 minutes. Throughout this daily process we ask for your assistance, patience, and diligence to the safety and security of our Blazers. Thank you,
