Fun Run

Emily's school had a Boosterthon Fun Run this morning.  They have been getting pledges all week to raise money for their school.  Emily's teacher gave her students motivation and they were rewarded this week by reaching two of their goals.  On Tuesday, they could go to the whole day with no shoes in the classroom.  To Emily that was like hitting the jackpot!  She loved it.  Today they got to bring a stuffed animal to school to sit at their desks. 

 Here is Emily ready to go to school.  She picked out her gloves, ear warmers, and scarf yesterday to wear this morning.  So cute!
 About to begin:
 Running lap 1:

 They could run up to 35 laps this morning at the Fun Run.  Emily ran 27 laps!  Way to go!
 Thanks for all the pledges!  The school has raised close to $40,000 from this event!  I'm very impressed.  They hope to reach $40,000 thru the weekend in pledge money:
 
On a side note, I ordered these Hello Kitty/Auburn shirts for the girls and they wore them yesterday.  Love my Auburn girls!
