Every year our school has only one fundraiser. They host a 1-mile fun run and encourage the kids to find sponsors. Parents and grandparents will happily sponsor them while feeling grateful that they don't have to buy cheap chocolate or tacky wrapping paper. The kids all get a school t-shirt to wear for the run too. This year Eric and Emilie chose to run with Grandma and Grandpa (they were quite possibly the only grandparents participating! Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma!). It was Emilie's first run and she was the 4th girl to finish (the kindergartners got a head-start but she did really well!) Eric was one of the early finishers as well! Way to go kids!

cute little cheer-leaders in their school shirts!
crossing the finish line! Look at her cute red cheeks. She did awesome.
Hooray for Eric!
It started raining during the run and the girls were shivering with their Otter Pops but they all had a great time.

Hooray for fund-runs!! I had a blast with our cute little Emilie - she was so determined to finish strong!
That is a great fundraiser! Great pictures of everyone!
That is the best fundraiser I have ever heard of, I wish Oak's school would do that! Cute shirts and good job everyone!
Great idea! Grandparents are the best--and so fit! I can't believe how big Charlie is already. We definitely need to get together soon. London wants to play with Emilie.
I think every school should do such a fundraiser. And those are pretty lucky kids to have such active grandparents.
I love that they just have that one fundraiser, and it's a perfect one! Lucky kids with such fun and involved grandparents!
They all look like pros! How fun they got to do this with their grandparents! So awesome...
