School Jog-a-thon

This year was our schools first jog-a-thon. I volunteered for Haley's class which consists of 4th, 5th, and 6th graders (it is a multi-age classroom school).


I have to say, her class had the most spirit. Their class color is white, and the kids went all out!


I counted for these goofy kids. The boy in the top right corner actually colored his hair white with spray and he had a painted on white beard!

Here they are getting pumped up to do some serious laps around the track!

My camera died right after I took this picture (bleh!) so no pics outside. Ya know the boy with white hair? Well, he ran 20 laps....that's 5 miles folks!

I learned my lesson long ago, to pledge a total sum and not per lap amount! These kids are crazy and will go the extra mile (literally!).

We just found out that the school raised over $43,000!!!! Our goal was like $30,000, so this is amazing! Our facilities budget was cut by 50% so this will help in so many ways!

A big shout out to Stacia Williams who put the whole thing together. Hat's off to you lady...you totally rock!
