JO50thfinal.png

Junior Olympics is a wonderful, spirited tradition in the Los Altos School District. 4th through 6th graders from all seven Los Altos schools gather for a day of fun, food and good spirited competition. The day starts with an opening ceremony. Student athletes proudly parade around the track carrying their school banner and wearing their school t-shirts. Students compete in track and field events throughout the day. Many parents feel it is one of the most memorable activities their child participates in during their elementary school years.
