School Fundraiser

Today was the big fundraiser at Kamryn and Jared's elementary.
The school was doing a 5K "run, walk and roll" race. The fundraiser part was kids getting pledges for doing the race. I heard that the kids had brought in about $12,000 in pledges!
Jared and Kamryn did their part by asking our neighbor and their grandparents, and of course mom and dad.
They were very excited about the race and to wear their special race shirts and race numbers.

Getting ready to start the race.
Luckily for mom, their was a special 1 mile race course for the young kids.

Brooke came and did the 5K. This is at the end of the race.
doesn't she look great?!


After the race, their was a carnival for the kids to enjoy. Jared and Kamryn had a great time and loved getting their faces painted. It seemed like a very successful activity and hopefully someone we'll have the energy to do it again next year. Its a TON of work!

That's cute. We do a walk a thon thing, too. But I would be interested to find out more about yours, since I'm in charge next year. I might want to change it up a bit.
