• RUNNING Tradition

  Fostering student athletes beginning, the #MahopacWay tradition lives on with the annual Mahopac Elementary Schools Cross Country and 5K races held in October. Students begin to develop the basic running fundamentals and learn the health benefits training for these running events.  “Our aim is to create not just life-long learners but life-long runners, as well,” said Lauren Kittredge, Austin Road Physical Education teacher and 5K organizer.  In fact, high school students from the cross country and track teams return to their roots and help with the races.

  The Cross Country race includes all students who run by age on the Lakeview grounds.  The 5K is made up of 4th and 5th graders who’ve committed to train before school before race day at FDR Park. This year’s 5K race was a record setting finish with all participants finishing under 41 minutes.

• United for the Troops Founder visits Ms. Aponte's Class

  Ms. Aponte's class had a very special visitor.  After taking up a collection for United for the Troops, the founder Jim Rathschmidt came  to personally speak with the class. The students are also finishing up their individual letters to be placed in the United for the Troops boxes before they are shipped out in November. That's the "Mahopac Way"!

   

  UnitedForTheTroops.org was created by friends and families of our Troops serving the U.S. overseas. Their mission is to make life while at war a little better for our brave men and women serving in the U.S. Military by collecting food, money, and goods that the military does not provide them. Through speaking with the troops the military provides them with the essentials for day to day life and many of them miss the extra amenities that they receive while at home.
