Crusader Hall was packed last Thursday as the 1st through 4th grades held the 35th Annual PE Department Rhythms Night.  For an opening act, the gravity-defying Unisaders stormed the gym to the rockin' rhythm of Darrel Mayers and his percussionists.  Each grade then took the floor and showed off their hours of hard work with parachutes, basketballs, ribbon sticks and more.  It was a great start to the spring season and a fun warm up for Field Day!

On Friday October 14, 2011, lower school students participating in the Marathon Kids program joined the festivities at the SAS Varsity football game by running the track at halftime.  Marathon Kids is a fitness program that allows children to run or jog over several months to reach a goal of 26.2 miles.  Go Crusaders!
