Fun Run

They had a Fun Run fundraiser at Ben's School...the kids raised money by collecting donations or pledges towards their laps...each class ran for 30 min!  I was able to sneak out of work to watch the big run...it's fun to watch him take part and interact with all the kids.


They all lined up and took off on the whistle...Ben was the first one around the track! 

There's Elsye in the pink/white. 

 They had to stop and get marks on their number tag each lap to keep track. They stopped for drinks of water once in awhile too, but for the most part they were running/walking their laps for the full 30 min.

Burst of energy 

Whoofta! 

Tallying up the marks.  That's Ben's substitute teacher Mrs. Hassler in the white (Mrs. Burke was out for about 4 weeks due to a surgery). 

27 laps! 

With some of his classmates...Elsye (cousin)

 Owen

Rose

And two of his other good buddies that are in a different K class...Nolan & Benjamin
