"The Final Mile"

Callie finished another marathon this year!!! At the beginning of the year the kids have the option of running 2 days a week during their lunch recess. They have to finish 5 cards (20 laps on each card) in order to qualify for "The Final Mile" which is run at the high school with all 3 elementary schools participating. It's pretty exciting & the kids who make it always feel such a huge sense of accomplishment (as they should). This is the 3rd year that Callie has finished & we're SO proud of her!!!

Yeah Callie! She looks a little lopsided in one of them! Your pic of Callie and Emily turned out much better than mine. Mine didn't work out very well at all. It was a fun night though!

Way to go Callie! What a great accomplishment. Now you can have all your recesses just to play.

I do like the goofy running picture. She looks like she is having fun.
