Pumpkin Run

Once again, Counterpoint Academy participated in the annual Pumpkin Run.  The Pumpkin Run is one of the many events that is hosted by an Ottawa Independent School Athletic Association (OISAA) school.  Students from Grade 3 to Grade 6 participate in this cross country run event, competing against other schools.  The distance is set according to age, with the youngest students running a distance of 1.5km.  It is a great opportunity to visit with students from other schools and enjoy the fall weather.  At the conclusion of the Pumpkin Run each student receives a pumpkin to bring home to celebrate the season.

Many congratulations to everyone that participated!
