A Day of Running

Can you imagine a U.S. school announcing that your junior high kids will be running a 9K in gym class next week?  That is exactly what our school did and today was the day for running.  They never once thought that the kids couldn't do it and never once worried that it might be too long.  They expect the kids to be active and they expect the kids to go at the pace that they felt comfortable with.  The day was gorgeous and the kids all did their thing.  It was fun to watch and since my photography group was asked to take pictures of the kids for the year book, I got to watch the whole thing and take lots of action shots. (Much to Max's dismay...)

The kids were all shapes, sizes, and nationalities.  All were fantastic!
