Piday 5k
Every year, this organization sponsors a "PiDay 5k," for which all proceeds go to amazing professional development programs for teachers prek-12. It would be so cool if The Think Tank participated in this 5k, as this organization has done so much for our classroom!! Mrs. Callahan and Miss Pratt will be there.
Please consider signing yourself and your child up for this awesome event! Click here to do so!: http://www.teachinglearningcollaborative.org/pi-day-5k.html
Also, Rachel Botkin has so graciously offered to organize a "Couch to 5K" program for anyone who wants to participate. This would be offered before school, after school, or on the weekend.
Please complete the following survey to indicate which day you would prefer: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/77KYMWN
Here is a link to the training program we would use: http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml Again, only ONE day per week would be a group training. The rest would be on your own. You do not have to participate in the Couch to 5k to participate in the run.
