We Did It!

We not only raised $25,500 (and counting, the money is still trickling in) but we joined together as a community with hundreds of families and friends gathered for dinner friday night and for walking on saturday. 199 children checked in to walk and so many of them did more than 2 laps around the zone that we actually ran out of prizes! Your event coordinators are working on getting those prizes to students asap! 20% of students at the walk went the whole 6 laps -- that's 5.2 miles! Way to go, kids!

Best of all, we showed what a great school Armatage is and how committed and involved our students, staff and families are. If there was ever any doubt before about which elementary school has the best people, there isn't now! It's Armatage, of course!

And Principal Franks had to hop in a Foster(ette) costume all day on Tuesday! Sweet!

Please share your fun walk stories and comments with us! We're getting ready for next year and need your feedback! Good, bad or in between, we want to hear from you. You can respond to this blog post or e-mail Nan at rabbitholearts@msn.com.

Thank you to everyone who made this event a success.
