A “shout out” to the cross country team

To the Editor: 

I just wanted to give a "shout out" to the HD Cross county team.  As I was out and about on my walk today I happened upon the team as they were out for practice on a portion of the bike trail.  I was truly inspired with the shouts of encouragement I heard from several of them as they were meeting some of their fellow teammates that were obviously a distance behind them.  I can name a few of the students but honestly, I was greeted with a "hi" or a smile from many of them!  Wonderful to an observer of these spontaneous acts of kindness and encouragement!

I don't think we often take the time to say words of encouragement about our young people and our school staff members! Thanks for the work you do!
