      The young students of Manor School were thrilled on Friday, June 5, to participate in the annual school track day.
           Here youth up to grade eight enjoyed a day of fun competition, while grades nine to 12 helped facilitate the day though they too enjoyed friendly competition in a relay race and the tug-of-war at the end of the day.
           The agenda for the day included a variety of races, shorter for younger kids. The standing broad jump, long jump, ball throw, obstacle course, shuttle run, and high jump were completed between 10 a.m. and 1:45 p.m.
           This was followed by team relays, the three-legged race, and the tug-of-war.
           During the day kids won points for their house teams by earning ribbons at events. The final three competitions were specifically done with house teams up against each other.
           The day is held each year in Manor as a way to encourage physical activity and is enjoyed by students as a day outside, free from the daily grind. It's a day they always look forward to.    Â
