Jog-a-thon

We had our first Jog-a –Thon at school and it was a BLAST! Ellie was so excited for the whole month when they first announced it and the class has been prepping for this big jog by taking practice laps during the school day. Ellie asked for me to braid her hair, which was really sweet since she hates to have her hair tied up!

They came out and circled around and stretched!

Ellie was all smiles afterwards! All of the kids did fantastic! Ellie ran two miles! 7 laps around the field. The whole gang went to participate and at times, Ellie told james and I she wanted to run by herself. We were sad, but she had her “team” to run with! Mrs. Larson has been a dream teacher for Ellie! I am so thankful for her and the wonderful memories and experiences she is sharing and creating with my Ellie!
