Today was our St. Jude Trike-A-Thon. For the last 2 weeks, our students have been collecting money for St. Jude. I have always loved what this hospital does so when we heard about this opportunity, I knew it was a must! Our friends Shane and Macy both work at St. Jude and hearing their stories make me love this hospital even more!
Starting this week, we began learning about bicycle safety, what St. Jude is and what it does, as well as how we should be thankful for the healthy bodies that God has given us. Today was our celebration day. The students were able to bring their trike or bike to school (with their helmets of course!) and they rode around our parking lot. Now wouldn't you know.... that it would be the coldest day of the week today, and cloudy! The kids didn't seem to mind, but thankfully the sun eventually came out and made our time outside much more enjoyable.
So despite the cold cloudy start to the day, our Trike-A-Thon was a hit and something we'll definitely do again! On top of that my little campus was able to raise over $2,000 for this fantastic hospital. Thank you to all of our parents and kids for participating!
