A plaque honoring Cpl. Brandon Hardy, an Octorara graduate who was killed in
2006 during Operation Iraqi Freedom was announced this past Monday evening.
Donanated by the YMCA STRIDE group, the plaque sits just outside the door at the district office adjacent to the Middle School.
STRIDE
is a fun fitness and running program for boys in the 3rd through 5th
grade. Boys have the chance to share their thoughts and opinions about
various life topics in a safe, encouraging environment that helps them
develop character, while building their running endurance to compete in a
5K.
Over the
course of 10 weeks, trained coaches will meet with the boys twice a
week, after school, for 75 minutes. They will weave important topics and
discussion into fun games and running activities. There is a fall
season from September to December and a spring season from March to May.
