Walk-a-thon

Last Friday, Emily's school had a walk-a-thon to raise money for the school.  It was also a chance to promote healthy living.  Emily had to get sponsors to give money per lap she walked/ran.  Her goal was to do 10 laps which is over a mile in about 20 minutes.

Each class chose a color to wear for the walk.  Emily's class wore red.  They had music playing and fresh fruit and water for the children when they finished.  I volunteered stamping children to mark each lap and cheering them on.  When Emily's class had their turn I walked/ran it with her.  She is hard to keep up with!!!!  It was a fun morning.
