2011 Recap
What a great day for a run! We had iffy weather which cleared up just in time. We had over 25 volunteers before and during the event. You know who you are - you helped make it happen too! This is the 2nd annual Fun Run which is now an essential community event for Sunnyside.
120 Sunnyside students and friends ran and walked around the track at Aptos Middle School. Everyone was in great spirits. Joining in were teachers Mr. Yee, Ms. Lee and Ms. Peters running with their classes. Principal Simard made the opening welcome and reminders. Then at 12 noon... they were off on the track. They ran, walked and strolled. They ran some more. Some students totaled over 20 laps in less than one hour! At 1pm when the race finished, runners picked up their medals. Then everyone dug into the potluck and enjoyed all the good food.
A reminder to let your sponsors know how well your student’s did and to collect those pledges. All contributions, along with your (yellow) pledge form are due no later than October 11th. There’s a Fun Run Collections envelope in the office as well as Thank You postcards.
After October 11th we will announce the winners:
And the grand prize package for the one student in each grade who collects the most donations will be:
