This year, on Wednesday, October 7th, we are combining 2 Hallinan traditions for a fitness extravaganza.
1 – Get ready to Walk n’ Roll your way to school for International Walk + Bike to School Day. Put on those walking shoes or strap on your helmet for your morning commute to school. Students will be greeted at the front of the school with hot chocolate, snacks and more. Raffle prizes include a bike helmet, umbrellas and a pair of crazy socks. If you’re interested in organizing a “walking school bus” for your neighborhood, contact Lynne Thompson at: llcthompson@mac.com
2 – The Jog-a-thon – This much anticipated Hallinan event is also on Wednesday, October 9th. This is a key fundraiser for Hallinan. It’s not too early to solicit sponsors for your child’s Jog-a-thon. Here’s how it works: throughout the day on Wednesday, each grade will come out to run around the Hallinan track. We will keep track of each child’s laps so that they can have their sponsors contribute to help Hallinan acquire much needed gym and equipment upgrades for our students.
You will find more information on both events at the Hallinan PTO website.
