Run Trailblazers, Run!

The girls are exhausted after a very long day at the Jog-a-Thon. Allison's class (Falciano's Fast Feet) ran from 9:30-10:30 hoping to raise big bucks for our PTA. They were so cute as they came out of their classroom and marched toward the field chanting "Let's Go Fast Feet, Let's Go!" They all wore adorable matching shirts with their footprints on the front and names on the back. Go figure-Allison leads the class in their march!

The kids thought this gorilla was a perfect addition to this year's festivities.

Allison ran 33 laps and the class ran a total of 692 laps! Way to go Fast Feet!

After a quick lunch break, I returned to watch Taylor's class (Mrs. Atkinson's Splendiferous Sprinters) run their laps from 11:45-12:45. Splendiferous is one of the words the kids have learned in their vocabulary program-they sound so smart!


Time to line up Taylor!

On your mark, get set, RUN!!

The PTA set a fundraising goal of $25,000 this year to cover the cost of so many wonderful programs for our students. If we reach that goal, Mr. McTasney promised to sleep in a tent on the field overnight. The students would love to see that! So now the money collecting begins. Great job, Trailblazers!
