Prince Charles cross country race the 1st school wide event in 2 long years.

In preparation for the return of cross country meets at Fort Henry in Kingston, members of the Prince Charles Public School (Verona) running club competed in age-appropriate races on Friday, October 8.

The races turned into a school wide event when the whole school (physically distanced by cohort) came out to cheer the runners on.

The PCPS Panther mascot was on hand for the event, and a video recording was made of the final lap of each race that parents will be able to access and watch from home.

“It was really awesome to get everyone outside in one school community” said run organiser Lee Casement, a teacher at the school.
