For the 45th year, it was “On your mark, get set, go!” for the Los Altos School District’s Junior Olympics, held Saturday at Los Altos High School. Approximately 1,300 students - about 95 percent of the student body in grades 4-6 - participated in relay races, basketball free throws, jump rope and other events that emphasized “personal best” over competition with others. Among the day’s highlights was the Los Altos Educational Foundation’s presentation of a $1.35 million check to the school district to help cover programs not funded by the state - including physical education. At top, the Loyola School contingent, complete with its lion mascot, march in the opening ceremonies.

In Our Opinion

Editorial

We’ve recently covered the passing of two of this community’s most involved and committed volunteers, Lee Lynch and Billy Russell. They represented an era when people helped out, not so they could get their name on a building, but because it was simply the right thing to do.

There’s a new generation of volunteers hard at work right now in this community who are carrying on their legacy. The level of involvement in the recent Los Altos Relay For Life event bears this out.
