A Beautiful Day for a Walk-A-Thon

Today we celebrate the 2011 SLS-PALS Walk-A-Thon. Two-hundred kids walking a 1/4 mile track around the church's property. We take 90 minutes and see how far we can go... Parents and friends pledge a per lap amount to spur their students on...


Kids carry a card that is punched upon completing a lap. Some kids make 8 laps, others 15 to 20. A few kids run most of the time and they can get up into the 20+ laps area. Water is provided for hydration and snacks will be given at the end of the walking time. Kids love this project and even if they do not get any pledges we all have fun walking and being together.



We start the Walk-A-Thon by lining up on our car line places. Mr. Baker gives directions and together we walk the first lap lead by our kindergarten students. The weather could not have been better.



Is that some hand holding I see? Way to help Mrs. Brand!
