Cowan Jog-a-thon

Last week, Molly participated in her school's jog-a-thon to help raise money for COW's (Computers on Wheels). Molly raised over a $100 and hopefully they raised enough money to outfit an entire classroom with laptop computers! Thank you to all our friends and family who contributed. It was such an encouragement to her! The morning started out with a pep rally complete with a sea of red T-shirts and pompoms for waving!


And of course there was a visit from Rocky the Cowan Bobcat!


Then the kids lined up and got ready to start. Molly was just running with the primary grades (which I believe is K-3rd grade), but there were a TON of kids out there when you figure on two classes of every grade. Molly started out strong and confident!


The kids ran for 20 minutes straight, which is a lot for a kindergartner. It was soooooo sweet to see the kids cheer on one another. Molly jogged with her friend Hana for a long time and Hana was such a sweet encourager to Molly!


After they completed a lap of the field they got a quick mark on their back to keep track. Molly completed eight laps of the field! I was so proud of her!


When everything was done, the kids all got free Jamba Juice to cool off with! They were all so proud of themselves! And I was so proud of Molly!
