Oaklawn Acorn Dash

The 2nd Annual Oaklawn Acorn Dash was a runaway success!  The Oaklawn PTO/PRIDE members and the Acorn Dash planning committee have truly outdone themselves!  Not only does the event promote physical fitness and family fun, it raises a lot of money for Oaklawn Elementary.  I had a great time running in the 5K and playing some sloppy bass guitar with frozen fingers!  Thanks to all of the Room 148 families that were able to come out and support our school on Saturday, and thanks to everyone who raised money for the Dash!  Just more proof that Oaklawn Elementary is the best school in the world!

Here are some pictures that I have copied from the Acorn Dash Facebook page.  If you couldn't make it, here's what you missed:

The Mile Run is about to begin!

UW Stout Gymnastics Team was there to teach tumbling skills.

And the Stout Hockey team too!

The morning was capped off with a Mascot Race!
