Annual Walkathon & Hot Dog Day

Last week saw another Walkathon and Hot Dog Day at DEMS.
This year as every year, we continued our support of Qatif Charitable Society - Orphans Committee and a new charity Room to Read through Elementary students sponsored walking. Middle School Students are donating theirs to the Mid-America Transplant Association in our previous principal's name, Mr. Bruce Hudson.
We started bright and early Wednesday 18th March, with an all-school photo in our shirts donated by Power Cow and our PTG - nice bright orange :)
And then the "race" began - well we know its not a race but.....

.

All done and back to the classroom for an hour or two before we get together again for some lunch - Hot Dog Day, thankyou to Tamimi for donating the Hot Dog lunches. The money raised from this goes (although the hot dogs are donated, students and parents purchase lunch) to the PTG which in turn then goes towards students, classrooms etc. mmmm we do look a little pooped - those laps take it out of you a little hehehe

psst.... the blue you might notice on Lucy's forehead is as a result of handing her over to some of my middle school students to do the walkathon. They had a ball signing each other's shirts....in non-permanent marker which somehow got rubbed off on Lucy's forehead :(

Well fun day and all and now its to collection of all those funds. Ooooh forgot to mention, the course/lap is just about a mile and our two managed ...... Lucy : 3 laps and Aimee : 4 laps - of course costs us a fortune now in sponsorship cos we didn't bank on that many hehehe
