The Annual Mile Run

We had beautiful weather for this year’s mile run. All students except nursery have been training for the mile in recent weeks. Nursery students turned out to cheer on the morning of the run, along with many parents and all of the teachers. The goal was a personal best, and students were encouraged to run or walk as they were able. The school started out with a group stretching exercise led by Charlotte, and they were off. Unfortunately, the video I shot did not turn out (if anyone has video, please let me know!) but here are a few pictures from the morning. This year, the middle school students ran a different route on some of the nearby country roads.

After I said "On the count of three, everybody make a really weird face!"
