Gecko Run!

Creekside had it's first Gecko Run fundraiser at the end of January and the whole school participated and gave it their all!  Even this girl, who can't stand PE and asks me to pick her up early on Fridays so she doesn't have to go to running club. :)

The track was a large loop around the school playground, 1 time around counted as 4 laps.

Look at her go!  She ran almost the whole thing!


Every time she'd come around, a volunteer would give her a mark to show how many times she went around.  She did 5 rounds, giving her 20 laps!  Awesome!

The only reason the kids stopped was because their age group time ended and it was time for the bigger kids to run.  Here's Tatum with her classmate Molly, great runners!

Everyone got water and oranges after the run.

And here's Tatum and Destiny, tired but happy they did it.  What a great way to raise money for the school, and a rewarding experience!
