HAA's first annual walk-a-thon was a great success. All students, staff, and volunteers made it safely to and from Katherine Legge Park. Miss Datil had a pedometer, and she logged in almost 6000 steps! When we arrived at the park we played and enjoyed a picnic lunch provided by the dedicated volunteers of our Home & School Association. Many students commented how wonderful it was to have one long recess and that they would like to have many more school days just like this - too funny! Needless to say, we were all exhausted by the time we arrived back at the school for dismissal. During ride call numbers, the hallways were so quiet it felt like there were no kids in the school building. We have raised more than $13,000 (and counting) towards a new school kitchen. God is good!
On our way out. The Junior class walked with us. (A few of them are my former 2nd graders!) I headed up the front of the line while Coach and his family took the rear.
An officer from the local police department who is a frequent visitor to our school (mostly for the D.A.R.E. program) made sure that we crossed the busiest street on our route safely. Thanks Officer C!
Lunchtime!
