Fun Run 2014

Claire's school put on a Fun Run in February to raise money for the school.  Claire came home from the kickoff really excited and determined to run as many laps as possible.  There were prizes for hitting different levels of donations per lap, with the top prize being an iPad at $50 per lap.  Claire said she was going to get an iPad, so we had some conversations about how that was a great goal, but not to expect an iPad at the end.  :)

Claire asked several family members to donate, and she ended up raising $29/lap.  Here is one of the letters she wrote:

 
Sweet girl.  :)  The organizers handed out prizes leading up to the run (which we thought was pretty smart), and one day she came home with an awesome headband.


When it came time for Kindergarten to run, she came out with a big smile on her face that lasted pretty much the entire run.  The maximum number of laps they could run to raise money was 36 (2 1/4 miles), and she ran the full 36 - plus a few extra.  She was thrilled, and we were so proud of our little ball of energy (and thankful for generous family members).
