And a huge shoutout to our amazing Reflections Chair, Shetal Nair, for leading this program with care, encouragement, and heart.
We are so proud of every student who participated. Thank you for sharing your stories and helping us all remember what it means to belong. 
We are so proud of our incredible Puma Run Club participants who joined us throughout the fall season, waking up early, bringing so much energy, and committing to moving their bodies, having fun, and building healthy habits together. Week after week, our Pumas brought positive energy, teamwork, and determination, and it has been inspiring to see how much they’ve grown, both in confidence and in strength.
This season, our journey led us to one of our favorite traditions, Run for a Claus! Our Pumas joined thousands of other runners to ring in the holidays and kick off winter break in festive style. Every single runner arrived eager, focused, and ready to give their best effort, and they truly did.
But more than race day itself, we celebrate the hard work, consistency, and commitment our runners showed all season long. The real victory came from showing up, supporting one another, and taking meaningful steps toward becoming healthier versions of themselves, together.
That said… our Pumas also had an amazing race day! Their training and determination shined during both the 1-mile and 5K events, with standout performances including:
PRC Fastest 1-Mile Time: 7:48 by Aneesh Bhat PRC Fastest 5K Time: 26:16 by Connor Cho
We are so proud of every Puma who ran, jogged, walked, cheered, encouraged a teammate, or challenged themselves in a new way. You represented Cadence Park with heart, spirit, and perseverance.
A huge thank-you also goes to our Puma parents and families for your enthusiasm, encouragement, and support of Run Club throughout the fall season. Your partnership and positivity help make this program such a meaningful experience for our students.
We can’t wait to see our runners, and welcome new ones, when we return for our Spring Run Club season on Jan 23rd. Until then, keep moving, keep smiling, and keep living those healthy habits! 
Cadence Park teams competed in the Harvest Cup on November 22–23, gaining valuable experience and representing our community with great energy and sportsmanship. While none of the Pumas teams advanced out of pool play, the players showed effort, teamwork, and resilience throughout the weekend and most importantly, had a lot of fun doing it.
The Harvest Cup provided important takeaways as we prepare for upcoming competitions. With changes coming ahead for the Tournament of Champions, we’re excited about the growth and progress on the horizon. We’re already looking forward to an even stronger showing at next year’s Harvest Cup!
A huge thank you to our amazing coaches: William Belport, Cassandra Holzhauer, Mark Deppe, Shaily Gupta, Cliff Hattar, Adam Lorenzo, Joanna Mijes, Shahram Khanzadeh and Nazli Farahanchi.
Excitement is building at Cadence Park as our Puma teams prepare for the upcoming Winter Bowl Tournament! Player registration has officially closed, and team rosters are now set.

Let’s stay positive, bring the energy, and support our Pumas as they represent Cadence Park at the Winter Bowl!
Go Pumas!
From October through April, our Lunch & LEAP program turns lunch and recess into something extra special—think colorful chalk art, brain-teasing board games, creative crafts, and high-energy field games. This program is all about sparking creativity, building connections, and creating those “remember when?” school moments our kids will treasure. Bonus: volunteers usually walk away smiling just as big as the students do!
We had a wonderful fall semester with Lunch & LEAP—thanks to our incredible volunteers. Now we’re gearing up for another great season, and we’d love for you to join the fun!
Lunch & LEAP runs every other Wednesday and is a great way to make a quick, meaningful impact during the school day. Whether you love games, crafts, or just hanging out with some awesome kids, there’s a place for you here.
