Event

This year's 5K crew (part of the Big Sur International Marathon) met to stretch before the run. Captain Cooper School came in Third Place in the "250 Students and Under" Division for greatest percentage of registrants, winning $500 for the school. Fifth Grader, Shelby Hawthorne, won first place in her division. Andrew Velasquez came in with the fastest time of the Big Sur student runners-- though not a category, a fine accomplishment! Congratulations to all who participated, whether as runners or volunteers.

Red Apple Award The Carmel School Board presented Meg Alvarez with the Red Apple Award for the year 2001. In addition to her duties at the school, Meg is Parent Club treasurer, Brownie leader, produces the school yearbook, and sponsored a successful school fundraiser. We applaud her exceptional dedication and spirit!
