Livsey Students Show Support for Boston

The Livsey Cross Country club showed its support for the people of Boston this week.

More than 90 Livsey Elementary School students are involved in the Cross Country club. They are known as the Livsey Leopards and the club is run by parent and teacher volunteers.

The Leopards have been active at Livsey since 2009. For the past three years, Livsey runners have participated in the Tucker Road Race, winning the award for highest group participation each year, as well as several age group awards.
