Olympic Day 2008




On September 5, 2008 Jackson Heights hosted the 2008 Olympics. Students in grades K - 8 were divided into teams representing different countries of the world. Teams participated in an Opening Ceremony, Torch Run, and Olympic Events. Due to rain the Olympics were held indoors, but students had opportunites to participate anyway. What was your favorite part of the 2008 Jackson Heights Olympics?

Mrs. Altenburg's team wore yellow and represented the country of Australia. I enjoyed watching different students work together to promote teamwork and fun. Students enjoyed the competitive atmosphere as well as the interative activites that happened throughout the day. A big thanks to Mrs. Hufford and Mr. Friess for putting this all together.

I loved the ladder relay becuse you have to put a stick on your knee and the smallist kid must walk across. It was not hard, well it was a little hard. We were Jamica.
