Kent Place second-graders have been studying the people, animals, and geographies of our world’s continents — as they are today and from many years ago — as part of their science and social studies curricula, and this week they went on an exciting field trip that would bring their lessons to life. Equipped with their backpacks, notebooks, and adventurous spirits, the girls visited the Museum of Natural History, in New York City.
Cross Country
Our cross-country program values the contribution of every individual; as a team, our student-athletes train hard, run fast, and compete with passion.
Our team is a perennial favorite in the Union County Conference (UCC), the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA), and the New Jersey Independent School Athletic Association (NJISAA) Class A division. The cross-country Dragons are seasoned veterans and promising newcomers.
Our experienced and enthusiastic coaching staff believes in the importance of camaraderie, accountability, and balanced competition. The program is individually based, so every girl interested in participating — from our younger student-athletes to those who have been part of the program for a few years — builds strength and endurance and gets to race to the best of her ability.
