Eagle Run

Emma's school has an annual fundraiser called the Eagle Run. The kids ask people to pledge a certain amount per lap. We were told the average for the kids was between 25 -30 laps. So, Jeff and I pledged $1 a lap. Our little eagle really cleaned up with this fundraiser!!!!

The kids ran or walked for a straight hour! That seems like a lot for kindergarteners!

One of Emma's coaches started the run with all of the students behind her. It was so cute :)

The kids all had shirts on with 40 boxes on the back. Every time they completed a lap, an adult marked off one of the boxes.

Our little Emma ran the entire hour!!! I couldn't believe it! The only time she would stop would be to ask a friend what lap she was on. She would stop in front of them and they would tell her what number was marked through! She was determind to get 40 before the race was over!

She wanted me to take a picture when she reached 40! She was so excited! She ended up completing 40 laps by the end of the race!

And here is my son :) He thought the race was too long!
