The Spring Branch Independent School District’s annual fifth-grade track meet showcased collective greatness as students from across the district participated in track and field events at Stratford High School. Pictured (from left) are Rummel Creek Elementary students Emily-Anne Booth, Evie Yeh and Emily Kurkowski. Rising track stars took to the starting line. But it was not about who won the race; it was about the journey the students had been on together throughout their years as elementary school students. The event was an enormous success thanks to support from the dedicated teachers, organizers, families of the students, and friends. It was a proud day for Spring Branch ISD that was more than a track meet – it marked the fifth graders’ next step on the track to success.
