Today marked our first experience at the Mullan Rd Walk-a-Thon! This is the school's main fundraiser of the year. The kids work for a few weeks getting pledges from friends and family -- you can either pledge a set dollar amount, or you can pledge some money per lap that the student walks. Audriana ended up raising about $130. Most of us pledged a flat $20, but mom decided to pledge $2 per lap. Well, Mom doesn't know it yet, but she owes Audriana $50 because she walked 25 laps!!!!! Her goal was 25 laps because the kids earned a free piece of pizza after 25 laps -- which she gladly cashed in. She would have walked more, but the weather was so cold that we couldn't stand it anymore! The wind kicked up and it had been raining off and on from 3pm on. The girls also participated in the calk walk -- too bad they didn't win a cake! We really did have such a fun afternoon -- I took the afternoon off so that we could be there as a family and it was great fun. Audriana had been so excited about the event and it was neat to see her with her school friends.
Logan Christensen made Audriana this hat and she wrote her name and "ninja hat"! She wore it the entire afternoon -- so proud of the gift from Logan.
It was so cold! The kids were troopers!
Here's Sofia and Madison. Many of the kids get dressed up for this event -- Madison and her friends were groovy girls from the 60's (or was it the 70's?). We saw lots of fun costumes and outfits.
Here's Audriana and her good friend Charlie (who she sometimes calls Chuck!). :-)
Sofia found her Montessori Central friend, Gweneth, here. Her big brother Alex goes to Mullan Rd. The girls walked together for a bit, then decided to stop and have a snowcone (this was before it got really cold!). They ate about 5 bites, got cold, and threw the rest in the trash!
Audriana did quite a few laps with her good friend Jacob.
Jacob and Audriana also did Bloomsday together...
Here's our little angel with her "lap card". Every lap she completed, she got a punch -- 25 laps is just about 6 miles! Go babe, go!!!!! I'm so proud of her!
Freezing cold at this point....on our way to the car to get warmed up, then off to soccer practice!
