fun run

You may have received a phone call over the past two weeks from Addison. She was so excited to call family and friends and ask for donations for her Boosterthon. She was a little nervous, but I made her do all of the talking. The teachers set classroom goals along the way and rewarded them with a picnic lunch, crazy sock day and a pizza party. If they met the ultimate goal the teachers promised to color their hair. Guess they made it.

They were supposed to do 35 laps around the track. Not a real track. A much smaller version. Addison was ready.

The Boosterthon staff were really awesome. The guys were energetic, fun and really kept the kids hyped up. There was a dance lap, a walk with a friend lap, a skipping lap, a high five the parents lap, and all other sorts of fun stuff. Addison had a lot of fun.

For every lap they ran they got a mark on the back of their shirt. This is the intern in her class, Ms. Murphy, marking her shirt. Trust me. The teachers worked just as hard as the kids. 

Water break. They had to run with their cups.

She did it! All 35 laps.

Here she is at the finish line. My favorite picture of them all! She was so proud.

I wish I was recording her last lap. They yelled out that they only had 30 seconds left and she was booking it. She was bound and determined to cross the finish line and she did. I had a lot of fun cheering her on (and dancing to the music). This was a fun event!

Thanks to all that donated money. Addison appreciates it and I do believe the school really does as well!
