55 Mile Relay

Several Beauclerc teachers took turns running five and a quarter miles in a relay race for Wolfson Children's Hospital yesterday. I joined Mrs. Adams, Mrs. Hosch, Mr. Gibbons, Mrs. Silverstrini, and Mrs. Goodman, plus Bella's mom. It was a tough run, especially with several uphill sections and my new shoes that pinched my toes, but I worked through the pain and got a pretty good time.

Fun Run 2014

The Fun Run was a ton of fun! Everyone in the class completed at least 35 laps, which was more than 2 full miles! The Superstars also ended the Boosterthon with the most pledges in the whole school - 2 years in a row!

Now, it's time to collect those pledges. Please make sure to help your children collect the pledges they received for their 35 laps. And in the meantime, check out these great pics from the run.
