Hello,

This year, 2008 academic year, marks the 10th anniversary of XX junior high school.
In such occasion, there is an athletic meeting, which the school coordinates with the district.

Given an invitation card which has to show this occasion with a phrase.
How should I put it?

XX Junior High School, 2008 Academic Year, (the?) 10th Anniversary with Athletic Meeting ....

I have trouble making a short phrase meaning "coordinating with the district." Emotion: thinking

What you write depends of course upon exactly what you mean! I think you mean that the school "hosts" the meeting. In other words other schools' teams travel to your school in order to compete.

  • If that's what happens, then "hosts" is the word to use.
  • If that isn't what happens, then you need to make it a little clearer before I can offer help.

Yes. The school hosts the meeting.
But the participants of the athletic meeting are the students and the faculty of that school and the folks in that town or village, not open to other schools.

I understand. I still believe that “to host” is the expression to use. In your situation, the is marking the 10th Anniversary by organizing and hosting an athletic meet for students and (the local community / local participants or some such). I hope that might be helpful to you. Unfortunately any expression is going to be rather clumsy if you try to contain it within one sentence.
