Over 100 visiting students from South Korea participated in the Saipan International School\u2019s annual sports day last Wednesday. <\/p>\n
According to SIS headmaster Ron Snyder, SIS hosted over 100 exchange students this month, ending with SIS\u2019 annual sports day at the Gilbert C. Ada Gymnasium.<\/p>\n
Snyder said most of the visiting students are on school holidays in Korea and, together with the SIS students, had a rigorous sports day that was full of challenging outdoor physical education. Events included a hula-hoop challenge, softball roll; 400-meter, 200-meter, and 100-meter races; long jump, and jump rope, among other activities.<\/p>\n
SIS\u2019 first through fifth grade participated in the activities, which were organized by fourth grade teacher David Steinberg. <\/p>\n
The event ended with an award ceremony, with ribbons presented to all first and second place finishers for each class in each event. <\/p>\n
Snyder thanked Northern Marianas Athletics and the staff at Ada Gym for volunteering their time to help make the event happen. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
