Kaysville Dragon's Jog-a-thon

I am a little slow in posting this, but still thought it was a fun event. At Skyler's school there one fundraising event for the year is a Jog-a-thon. It work much like the March of Dimes as far as the donations go. Friday Oct 3 the event happened. It reminded me of a minnie marathon... with me manning the water station, lol. The kids ran around the track at the school and just had a blast.

These are the cute shirts that all the kids got!! They where a surprise and the kids loved them.

Principal Diddle with the Jog-a-thon Torch lead the way for the first lap.

Mrs. Knavel is Skyler's teacher, she is the blond woman doing the "warm-up" in this picture.

Each class made there own banner. They all ran out on the field threw a tunnel of parent and volunteers with there banner leading the way. It was tons of fun for the kids. By the way, they broke the grades up so K-3rd ran together and 4th-6th ran together. I should have taken a picture of just how many kids are in K-3rd. It was HUGE!! I don't even think Minersville has that many kids in the whole school!!

A tired Skyler after running a few laps.

The kids in Skyler's class all sat down to await their treat.

And now they SWARM the teacher. lol They also did a drawing for all the kids that brought back an envelope. I really liked that everyone was entered and they didn't base the prizes on how much you collected. Skyler didn't win a prize, but I still think if was a much more fair way to work prizes for a whole school.
