home : Congratulations!
THSC CONGRATULATIONS!
|
|
|
We hope that everyone is enjoying the new format
for the “Congratulations!” column. After much discussion over the
past few years, the editorial board made the decision to post
these encouraging accounts of home school student successes on the
website. It keeps us from the limited schedule of only having new
information in a quarterly publication; in addition, we can update
information as it becomes available rather than filing and
retrieving on the schedule of the magazine. We are not limited by
available pages in the magazine. After this big introduction about
the positives, we will make every effort to live up to the claims. |

Jon Cuyler
|
Jon Cuyler of Little Elm won 3rd place in Individual National Orienteering Championships in OM-16 Category. He won the 3rd place Championship medal for 2005 (annual) by competing in a 2-day, 10.7- total- kilometer orienteering (land navigation) race in Bend, Oregon and finished in 3rd fastest time.
Anyone interested in this competition, should visit http://www.us.orienteering.org/, the official site for the United States Orienteering Federation, and get the information on the next National Championship. Register, attend, and compete. It would be advisable to research local orienteering clubs and participate in local meets to gain knowledge and skill prior to a national competition. |
