Myles and Sydney's school started a new fundraiser this year called "Run for Funds." Each student collected pledges based on the number of laps they would run - 16 laps equaled 1 mile. Myles' class had about 25 minutes to run and Sydney's had closer to 20. They both did awesome! Myles ended with 21 laps and Sydney with 20 - 1.25 miles for each of them! More than that, the energy of the event and support from the whole school community was impressive. The school ended up raising $60,00, which exceeded their goal by $20,000. We are thankful for such a great school to send our kids to everyday. From the principal down to the support staff, the kids are valued, embraced, and supported. The academic instruction is great, but the focus on character development within the school is what sets it apart for us. The kids had a blast!

Sydney is an excellent runner with those long legs and never had anything but a smile on her face and positive attitude. In the bottom right photo she is running next to her best school friend, Nouvelle (and in front of me!).
