December 13^th this year was a day full of energy and sportsmanship. 4,300 teachers and students from 170 schools came together for a cross country running activity organized by the Taichung city government, while 32 students from Wagor Elementary School also participated in this annual event hosted at Gaomei Wetland. The total distance for the run was 1.6 kilometers and the students enjoyed running along the beach with the sound of waves and fresh clean air. Not only did they get to enjoy nature, but also got the opportunity to meet students from other schools. It was an amazing experience filled with sport, friendship, and nature.

   12月13日是個晴朗的豔陽天，170所國小4300名師生上午聚集在高美濕地，展開了「105學年度台中市國民小學普及化運動路跑競賽」，同學們參與這次校際比賽，透過團隊合作，共同爭取比賽獎項，達到全面性運動推廣的目的。

   葳格小學502的32位同學，從十月開始近兩個月的體能訓練，每周一、二、四的晨光時間，同學從一開始跑三圈、五圈操場的氣喘吁吁，逐漸掌握了呼吸與腳步快慢的調整安排，直到一次跑個十五圈亦能駕輕就熟，大家的體能增進，勇氣與毅力也與日俱增。

   比賽當天，葳格小學由洪武吉校長、黃麗燕老師、惲大宗老師率隊，帶領502站上起跑的第一線，鳴槍聲響，起跑後師生們由高美溼地景觀橋前出發，繞行中一路段，路線長度約1.6公里，大家迎著強勁的海風奮勇邁進，加上師長一路陪伴的打氣鼓勵，同學們一個個超越自我極限，為了團隊榮譽堅持到底。看到同學一個個衝過終點大門，高舉雙手發出歡呼，相信大家順利達成了心中的目標，跨下了自我挑戰的里程碑。

   海風飄揚在高美濕地的天空，燦爛的冬日陽光，畫下葳格學子難忘的運動畫面。同儕間的默契，讓孩子們在團隊合作、人際互動上更多的體驗，領略了運動的美好，與健康成長的學習新頁。
