Walk-a-thon: Our school Walk-a-Thon is coming up on October 7th. I am excited to enjoy a day of running and walking laps in the fresh air with my class! Parents are welcome to come run with us. We’ll be doing it during our specials time (2:30-3:15). A green form is coming home today. This is a great fundraiser for our school.
