Archway's Walkathon 2007

Another Walkathon has come and gone but the memories (and photos) will linger on. In the true spirit of community, Archway parents, teachers and students all chipped in to make this one a successful event . Many walkers came in costume and I was lucky enough to run into bug first thing in the morning before she decided to ditch her lovely lady bug costume.

I also met up with a small group on patrol

friends walking together

as well as a fairy or two

and many other interesting costumes

Thanks to all of the parents who planned organized and staffed the event and a special thanks to the upper campus students who helped cover some of the corners and the new fun stations. Snow cones were especially popular with tired walkers. We also added popcorn, button making and spin art.

The button/spin art station where walkers could design and create their own button was also quite busy.

The food was delicious and gorgeous. Thanks to those who planned, shopped and cooked to provide the grilled meats, tofu, vegetables and salads.

The walkathon provides a space for families to spend time together walking and talking with each other and with other Archway families. This year we had a sunny and fair day just perfect for visiting and catching up.

At the end of the day my favorite part is seeing students who have given of themselves to support their school and the pride that comes with their accomplishment. The money the students raise from this event goes to support Archways' music and art programs.

See you there next year around the same time and same place!
