Fun to run

By on No Comment

Students raced around Blanche Sims Elementary School on Sept. 26 for a good cause: Their school. The school held its first ever Fun Run for students and their families, as the primary all-school fundraiser for this year. The event was organized by the Blanche Sims PTO, and students walked or ran laps for 15 minutes at a time during school hours after asking for pledges to raise money for the fundraiser. The proceeds will go towards such educational enhancements as field trips and assemblies.
