Miss Todora's Turtles! Here is Ayden's awesome Kindergarten teacher in the red shorts and blue hat with her team of Turtles behind her ready to run!
The big fundraiser in the Spring at Ayden's school, Alston Ridge Elementary was the Boosterthon Fun Run! The kids collected pledges for a couple of weeks (family and friends pledged per lap or one single donation) prior to the running event. They received lots of motivation and prizes from the Boosterthon staff. When the Fun Run day came, the kids ran as many laps as they could (there was a cap of 35 laps) with lots of excitement, spirit and motivation from the school staff and Boosterthon people. It was beyond exciting!
Here is Ayden coming through the tunnel to enter the event with his team of Turtles! :)
Here he is running the laps. Not that it is a pleasant thing to happen to a child, but Ayden ran so hard and fast for the capped 35 laps that he vomitted when he was all done! Poor guy, he didn't know what pacing himself meant. He probably learned his lesson! :) It was a really exciting day. Ayden helped to raise over $300 towards the cost of the new shades for the playground that the PTA purchased not long after the event!
