Fun Run

Last Friday the kids did a fun run at school to raise money for the school. The kids could run, walk, skip, hop, jump, etc. and try to get in as many laps as possible in a set time period. The goal was for kids to max at 15 laps but some of them, including Tyler exceeded that. Both Tyler and Daphne finished more laps than they thought we would. Daphne completed 6 laps (1.5 miles) and Tyler completed 18 laps (4.5 miles!). There was a pokemon theme and there were various pokemon (I don't really know all the terms) on the track with flag football flags. You could get a prize if you got a flag. Tyler didn't care about the prizes and was focused on doing as many laps as he could. He essentially ran the whole time and only walked a few times to catch his breath. And although we have had an unseasonably warm winter, it was actually in the high 40s throughout the whole day. The pre-K, kindergartners, and 1st graders ran together. The 4th and 5th graders ran together. And the 2nd and 3rd graders ran together at the end of the day.

Daphne started off running but ended up
walking quite a bit. It's tiring when you have
short legs!

Tyler ready to go- he was easy to spot in his fluorescent hoodie!

Lots of smiles in the beginning
