From the Organizer
The Deerfield Community School (DCS) Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) will be hosting our first ever Triathlon! The participants will start out with a swim in Pleasant Lake, using Veasey Park as a transition area. They will then mount bikes for a 13 mile bike ride through the town of Deerfield ending their ride at the Community School. The racers will then complete the event by running ‘Parade Loop’ and through our own cross country trail. This inaugural event will take place on Saturday, July 29th, 2017.
The goal of the Deerfield PTO is to support the parents, teachers and students achieve the mission of DCS. The mission of the school is To inspire each student to think, to learn, to achieve, to create and to care. In order to support the mission of the school, funds are needed to attend field trips, provide up-to-date uniforms, host authors, thank students and teachers for hard work with festivities (ice cream truck visit for example), and assist in school improvements. When our community works together amazing things happen! Please help support our school by participating in this event! If you are interested in becoming a sponsor for this event please email Trisha Hellings at trishahelllings@yahoo.com
