WMS Cross-Country'10

On the 6th of February 2010, the Interact Club of WMS held it's annual Cross Country at Lake Gardens. The aim of this event is to raise funds that will be donated to several charities to help unfortunate kids. The event started off with the arrival of the students and the guest of honour, then a slight briefing for the students. After that, we sang the national anthem and the school song continued by a speech that was made by the principal and the guest of honour. Later, the students warmed up for the race and headed to the starting point! The under-15 category got flagged-off first, followed by the teachers, ex-students and parents category then, the under-18 category. After the race, everyone settled down as prizes were given out to the winners from each category.

All in all, it was AWESOME and we would like to thank everyone who joined and helped out for making it such a great success. We would especially like to give extra credit to the organizing chairperson, Jonathan Lee and his assistant, Giselle Soosay Nathan as well as our teacher advisors, Madam Norhayati and Miss Teng who put in all effort in making sure the event went on smoothly. The event went perfectly as planned and we raised a total of over RM62,000 that went out to several charities.

Here are a few pictures which might give you just a little hint on what was going on during the event, as they say, a picture speaks a thousand words!

Interactors Samantha Ng and Amir Ashraf did a good job on being the emcees for the event.

All of the Interactors worked tirelessly for the event and we are really proud as it was for a good cause. We definitely hope that next year's cross country would achieve even greater sucess. Last but not least, thank you so much for your contribution and endless support throughout this event! :)
