Come out and join us with family and friends for some exercise before the Carnival.  You may choose to walk, run or bike the course.  Each child is encouraged to participate and will receive a medal after crossing the finish line.  Classrooms will be divided into 4 teams based on the K-6th Specials Schedule.  Teams with the highest participation in the event will win a SPECIAL GYM DAY.  This fun period will include the use of the Bouncy Houses!  Preschoolers will have their own separate special event.  Look for sign ups to come home via backpack or go here to print out a form.  Cost is $5 for an individual and $10 for a family (includes up to 5 total participants) until October 6th.  After this date registration increases to $10 for an individual and $15 for a family.  We will stagger start times every 10 minutes between 10:00 and 11:00.
