Lakeside Carries The Torch…
The Torch of Independence arrived in Costa Rica Sunday morning around 11:00am. At 9:45pm on Sunday the 13th three Lakeside International School secondary students (Keanan Harden, Glennis Harden and Raegan Correll) proudly carried the torch for over 1km in it’s journey to Cartago.
The night was damp and the anticipation heavy in the air as Lakeside students & Parents waited for the torch to arrive. Not even a small thunderstorm earlier in the evening could dampen the spirits of the three runners. The mood was jovial up until the torch arrived, and then it was all business as the three runners outpaced the official escort vehicles. Sirens, honking and a line of cars that stretched over 2km followed the runners as they made their way to the Lakeside School entrance where they handed off the torch.
We are very proud of our students and consider it an honor to have been included in this traditional celebration.
