  Congratulations to the five Granby pupils who competed in this morning’s Cross Country Regional Finals. They all ran brilliantly and were fantastic ambassadors for the school. Special congratulations to the young person wearing a medal in his photograph. He came first in all three qualifiers earlier this year and only went and came first in today’s Regional Finals!
