On Thursday PALS, our parent organization, hosted the 2010 Walk-A-Thon. It was a beautiful day and a wonderful event. Out students love this opportunity to walk and raise funds for their school.
This 90 minute walk for students in kindergarten through 8th grade helps to raise funds for the PALS organization. PALS uses the money to support our school program and different school activities. Our little ones in Mrs. Shaw's and Mr. Gerdes' classes did a lap of support before they took their afternoon naps.
Students walk laps at their own speed. Water is provided to keep the walker hydrated. Classroom parents are stationed to punch a walker's ticket as they complete a lap.
First Grade walked the most laps with 327 in the 90 minutes provided. Top school walkers were Evan Petrich, Wade Korns and Luke Rebmann who each were able to complete 24 laps in the alloted time. Way To Go Students and Staff of SLS!
