Cougar Challenge

Today was the Cougar Challenge Walk-A-Thon at Sam’s school. It is the one big fundraiser the school has so that the kids don’t have to sell things throughout the year. They ask for pledges and then walk two times around the middle school field, which is right next door. Sam was so excited the day of the event. When I dropped her off, she was thrilled by the large cougar prints in front of the school, leading the way to the walk.
We all stood on the field and watched the kids go. They all were so excited. There was loud music and lots of people cheering them on.
To make it interesting, there were fun events along the way like the limbo station…
And the hula hoops!
I was a parent volunteer and part of the official cheering section, complete with pom poms.
Thankfully, Mark was there camera in hand. Sam’s teacher, Ms. Cipolloni, noticed and thanked us later. All the teachers love having pictures of their class.
The Springfield Cougar was on hand to cheer the kids on too.
Here is Sam’s class, Ms. Cipolloni’s p.m. kindergarten!
$15,000 was the goal, and they made it. In fact, we actually found out later, they raised over $26,000 for their school! Way to go, Little Cougars!
