DeShazo Track Meet

Today at school we had our school wide track meet. Our school is blessed with the most amazing gym teacher who does an amazing job with the kids. If you ask any of the kids in school what their favorite time at school is, they will say gym!! I just hope they keep the enthusiasm for exercise! Kamron and Tyler both ran in the 50 yard dash. They were in seperate heats and BOTH won 1st place. I tried hard to get pictures of them crossing the finish line, but was very unsuccessful!

At the end of the track meet each grade level got to participate in a "Tug of War" It was really exciting and Tyler's class beat the whole grade level. It was a great day!! Days like today, I really love being a school nurse and getting to share all of these moments with the boys! And shockingly, there were only a few that fell on the track and needed my assistance. The worse fall was on Thursday preparing for the meet. The teachers decided to run a relay also. While a group of teachers were practicing during recess, they decided to run in the street because the grass was wet and muddy. One of them fell hard on the street, tearing her pants and tearing the skin on her knee. 2 hours later with a large hematoma and her knee glued back together, we were able to return to school from the Dr. They pushed her in a wheel chair at the track meet!!

Kamron at Tug of war. It is a little hard to find him, but he is there working hard! Kamron is in front of the REALLY blond little girl in the middle.

Tyler's class winning 3rd grade! They were so excited!! Tyler is in the middle and is the first one that falls, but quickly gets up!
