This is a short week so, instead of spotlighting one of my fabulous students, I am going to talk about Cougar Run. Most of you who are reading this are well aware that Cougar Run is our school's major fundraiser for the year. Many years ago (before I began teaching here and I have been here for almost 18 years) our school's principal, faculty, and parents decided that instead of asking students to sell items to help fund school activities, a yearly "fun run" would be held to raise money. Students run or walk along a designated track while friends and family pledge money per lap or a just donate a certain amount.
This concept has spread to most of the elementary schools in our district but I don't think anyone does it quite like the Cougar Run! This week students have shown their "Cougar Spirit" by wearing orange and blue on Tuesday, having a "flip-flop" day on Wednesday, and wearing anything tie-dyed on Thursday. Thursday was also our parade of cars. Families decorated cars to show their Cougar Pride as students were dropped off for school. I have attached a few of the over 75 pictures I took this morning of cars as they came through the car line. What a great time we all had seeing how creative our families are! Go Cougars!
What a terrific day! had so much fun chatting with you on the phone on Saturday....hope to see you real soon. Can't wait to see who is your next blogger, they do such a great job!
