MARATHON KIDS
Hi Summitt Families! I know that we have been preoccupied with our Y-tie fundraiser, but I just wanted to let you know that we will still be participating in Marathon Kids at Summitt this year. Registration forms will be going out in the Monday folders very soon! I can't stress how wonderful this program, plus it's free :) Once you turn in the registration form, we will give your child a running log. All running or walking that is logged should be done outside of school! We would love for you to grab your kids and go out for an evening walk or jog, and then log the miles on the chart. There will be a Kick-off Celebration at UT Mike Myers stadium on October 1st at 9 AM!! Free water bottles and bumper stickers are given out at the Kick-off!! Once the running log gets filled up...your child will turn it in and get a Marathon Kids Finisher T-shirt around April!! They are also eligible to attend the Final Mile and receive their medal for finishing 26.2 miles!! So get those registration forms in as soon as you can, and start keeping track of the miles you exercise!
Thanks again for all of your support with Y-ties...we actually had to make a 3rd order because Gold, Silver, and Rainbow seem to be the "hot" colors to have this year!! Best wishes!

AAPER Cross Country Run 11/20
AAPER Cross Country Run- Saturday, November 20th, 2010 @ Festival Beach
Thirty-four years ago, two PE teachers came up with the idea that we should let the kids run. Not make them run or tell them they have to run. Just let them run. These wise men thought to keep the cost down and let them run through the leaves, run by the lake, run for fun, run to compete, run for the first time, or just run to run. We invite you to continue the tradition started by two of our visionary teachers. Please join us on November 20th, 2010 @ Festival Beach for the Austin Youth Cross Country Run.
