Running for a cause

Ella Grace's school participated in a Boosterthon Fun Run a couple of weeks ago. This was my first experience with this program, and it seemed to be directed very well, with staff coming in to teach kids about character, as well as host the run on campus. You can see the tunnel and guy in the red shirt below. He encouraged the kids through the run, they played music and made it a very fun environment. Ella Grace is the last one in her class about to run through the tunnel here.






Skipping a lap to get warmed up!


Picking up some water during the run. Despite it being January, it was really hot already!

Our sweet girl did fabulous! She was the first I saw in her class get to the lap cap of 35 laps!
As they ran each lap they stopped by the teachers to get a mark on their shirts.

Encourage a friend lap



Cooling down a little as she approached her teacher for another mark.


What to go Ella Grace! You made many of us go broke from sponsoring you, but we are so very proud of you!
