Parents, the elementary students have begun training for the PA2CO (Professional Athletes Against Childhood Obesity) Fun Run scheduled for April 20th. That means they will be going to the track three times a week (weather permitting) to increase their endurance through jogging and walking. It is vital that students wear appropriate shoes on the days they will be going to the track. If those shoes have ties, please spend time with your child and teach them to tie their shoes. Untied shoes can end up causing very painful falls.
