Second Annual Waterfall Glen Xtreme 10 was a great success!

Race participation increases by nearly 40% over previous year!

A few morning showers did not dampen the spirits of the nearly 350 ten-mile runners, 50 children's race sprinters, and 50 volunteers who participated in the CCSD 180 Foundation for Excellence Second Annual Waterfall Glen Xtreme 10 held on Saturday, August 13, 2005 at the Waterfall Glen Forest Preserve and the Argonne National Lab Family Park. Charlie Kern was the male winner in a pace of 5:16 per mile for the ten mile run. Jenni Goebel took the female division in a 6:14 per mile pace.

Our generous Foundation members, volunteers, parents, staff, students, race contributors, vendors, DuPage Forest Preserve, and Argonne National Laboratory are to be congratulated for an outstanding event. I also know that all associated with the race would agree that the leadership, talents, and hard work of race coordinator Mr. John Gervase and Foundation President Mrs. Pamela Slater with the cooperation and generosity of Foundation Trustees and Volunteers assured a highly successful race. Of course, those who benefit most are the children of CCSD 180, whose education will be enhanced through generous Foundation projects! It was an event to remember! Thanks to all for enhancing our school community through this outstanding endeavor! I look forward to the third annual Xtreme 10 to be held on August 12, 2006!

It's for the kids!
