Piru Elementary is an extraordinary school where children come to learn and grow, a place that challenges and nurtures young scholars, and a place that awakens a thirst for knowledge and understanding. Each student receives a high level of individual attention through classes taught by knowledgeable, experienced, and caring teachers. |

![]() (Above) Opening Ceremony with class banners of the Piru Elementary Olympics. “Citius, Altius, Fortius,” last week the Olympic Motto came to life for students at Piru Elementary as they reached for “swifter, higher, and stronger” achievements in their school Olympics. After practicing at lunch recess for weeks at their Olympic Training Center the student athletes were ready to meet the competition. The Games began with a grand procession of classes around the athletic field to the Opening Ceremonies. While their class banners proclaimed their class’ presence students were welcomed to the competition in the spirit of the Olympics. Following the lighting of the Olympic flame the opening day competition began. To classmate cheers athletes pulled with all their strength in the tug-of-war competition and later ran swiftly in a shortened marathon. Winners were awarded “Olympic” medals for their success. Throughout the week at lunch recess the competition continued when grade levels vied for soccer medals. Piru’s Olympic Games culminated Friday afternoon as individual students and teams gave their best as they struggled for success in long jump, shot put, jump rope, hula hoop, Frisbee throw, and running relay. As the games drew to a close every student had an opportunity to compete to the encouragement of his or her classmates. And, Piru Elementary School echoed with the pleasure of its students.
