One of the perks of being on the PTA Board is getting to participate in really fun events like this one…the Boosterthon Fun Run.  It's a popular fundraising method used by many schools in the district…mostly because it's successful at raising funds, most of the work is done by the Boosterthon "team", and because it's a great event for the kids.  T-shirts, prizes, running laps to fun music for pledges, having people cheer you on…it can't get any better for most kids!  Samuel and I were out there for the whole 4 hours of racing.  He was a dream as usual…sometimes staying on the field with other moms while I ran around the school rounding up classes.  He just hangs out!  I love that.  I love interacting with the kiddos at the school who call me "Jacob's mom", "Caleb's mom", and "Box Top Lady" (even though I don't wear that hat anymore).  I gave approximately 2,500 high fives (can you say sore hands??).  I poured approximately 1,000 little cups of sloshy water.  I lead the congo-line of 100 3rd graders.  I raced my boys around the track (both ran the max of 35 laps).  And I popped one set of bam-bam sticks from using them so much.  So fun!  A morning well-spent.

p.s.  A BIG thank you to those of you who got our phone call and were sweet enough to oblige my boys with a donation!  We appreciate you so much – and so do the "specials" groups at our school who will use the money well (art, music, p.e. and library).  Here's another perk of being on the PTA Board – being able to have a say in how that money is spent!
