August: Marathon held in the Library to honor the Beijing Olympics As part of our library theme this month, SIS Middle School and High School students competed in a first ever SIS marathon... all run on a treadmill in the library! The competition was especially fierce between the 6th, 7th and 8th grades. 7th Grade won by a small margin! Congratulations to everyone who participated! |
