Yesterday was Mini Laps, and I must say the event was spectacular. The decorations were phenomenal, and the kids looked adorable in their Wizard of OZ costumes. It was a great day. My parents, Christy, Toni, and Brian came to cheer the kids on. Here is a cute picture of Andrew in his scarecrow costume.
The goal for Mini Laps is to raise money that the school runs on every year. I’m pretty sure it’s the biggest fundraiser we do. We normally raise like 20% of the Budget or something like that. There is an organization that gives us a matching grant up to 150,000 dollars of whatever the parents raise. Last year we raised well over the match, but this year donations were low and we were about 12,000 dollars short of the match. Donations can still be made for Mini Laps and as long as the money is marked for the event then the organization will match it. I know most people who read this are poor people in their 20’s like me, but just in case someone else reads this and wants to make a donation you can do it here.
Here are some more fun pictures that Brian took of the decorations. The poppy field in the center of the track was my domain. The Union Cheerleaders made us 4,000 red poppies. It was really incredible. Brian and I made the barn with a few parents on Thursday.
And here are some pictures Brian took during the event. I walked three kids around the track.
Here is a picture of Sullian in a tornado costume. He was so cute.
And here is a picture of my favorite kid.
I hope everyone enjoyed the fun pictures. Have a lovely Sunday.
