Yesterday was the Jogathon at Valley Elementary. It is one of the biggest fundraisers they do every year. The students have 20 minutes to run, jog or walk around the .22 mile track. Parents and teachers can also run for fun. Each grade level has a 30 min. time frame before the next grade levels turn. Kassidy ran a total of 6 laps. While we were watching Kassidy, Emily decided she wanted to join in. She took off running down the track too. Collin ran a total of 7 laps. It seems that 6 or 7 laps was the norm. The winner ran a total of 12 laps. After the kids run, they each get an otter pop to cool down with before going back to class. During the entire event, there is someone on a microphone cheering them on and lots of loud music. It's pretty exciting. All the kids had a great time. The one picture is of Kassidy and her teacher Mrs. Ochoa. Kassidy is very fortunate to have a teacher that won an award and $25,000.00 for being one of the top teachers in the nation.
