On Your Marks...

Ella took part in running club this spring.  It is on Wednesdays after school.  The kids all meet and run around the school track then celebrate with popsicles.  The culmination of running club for the semester was a 5k run.  This also coincided with the dedication of our new school track.  The track was named after our old principal, and my mentor teacher, Mrs. Korth-Lloyd.  It was so great to see her there and see a plaque by the track with her name.  
Ella did an excellent job running her 5k.  She wasn't able to run the whole way but never gave up and finished in the middle of the pack.  I love that girls determination!  She was a little red and tired when she got done but was also very proud of herself.  We were so proud of her too.
