5K Anti-Bullying Breakfast
GOAL 1: Put on a 5K for our students, families, and staff (with t-shirts
and goody bags!)
GOAL 2: Raise money and raise awareness and encourage a grand atmosphere at
ISTC
GOAL 3: Create a fall fundraising event to mirror the Golf Tournament in
the spring
We can't achieve these goals without help. Probably lots of help. So, are you up for it? Curious?
This coming Monday at 1:30pm we'll head over to Hijackers so we can eat and
hash out some details and work to make the event happen, as well as to make it
as successful as possible. With a burgeoning student body and faculty, there are
a lot of faces to make happy! There will be a role for every talent and skill
set, so don't be afraid. No strings attached.
Thank you for your consideration, I know your time is valuable!
Monday, August 6th, Hijackers 1:30pm

Don't Let Anyone Tell You You Can't
LONDON -- South Korean archer Im Dong-hyun sees only blurred colors and lines when he peers toward the target about 76 yards away, arrow at the ready. It doesn't stop the legally blind Olympian from hitting the grapefruit-sized yellow center – again and again and again.
Im set the first world record of the London Olympics on Friday, breaking his own mark in the 72-arrow event and helping South Korea set a team record in the opening round. He broke the record he set in Turkey in May by three points with a score of 699, hours before the opening ceremony of the 2012 Games.
"This is just the first round, so I will not get too excited by it," said Im, who has 10 percent vision in his left eye and 20 percent in his right.
He combined with Kim Bub-min and Oh Jin-hyek, breaking the record for 216 arrows with a score of 2,087. That was 18 better than the mark South Korea set in May.
The 26-year-old Im does not wear glasses in competition, saying he relies on distinguishing between the bright colors of the target. He won gold in the team event at the 2004 and 2008 Olympics.
South Korean coach Jang Young Sool also didn't seem too impressed by his team's accomplishment. He said his archers must get ready their next test.
"We will have a day of rest now and prepare for tomorrow," he said of the gold-medal match Saturday.
France finished second in the team event, followed by China and the U.S., which was ranked No. 1 coming into the event. The U.S. men beat South Korea last October in London.
Brady Ellison, world No. 1 individual archer, said the conditions were ideal Friday and he wasn't surprised the individual world record fell.
