The Run is over!

The run went better than I had thought. Everything was organized and well prepared. I couldn't of done any of this without all the help I received throughout this process. First I would like to thank Claudia Doron! She gave me the initial steps in order to get my project started. She went out of her way and took her time to help me and provide me with the tools I needed. This wouldn't have been possible without you, thank you Claudia! Second I would like to thank Mrs.Bauer for helping me organizing the run. Thank you for helping me keep everything in order and on track! I would like to thank Mrs.Del Curto for keeping all the money safe and all the sponsor sheets organized! I would like to thank all of the teachers who participated and helped out with safety. Thank you to all teachers for also keeping all of your students on track. Thank you for your help! Thank you to all of the volunteer parents who came out today to take photos, hand out water and make sure the kids kept track of their rounds! Thank you to Mrs.Sutcliffe for making this run possible and allowing me to initiate the project! Last but not least, I would like to thank all of the runners who came out: teachers and students. Every single one of you, no matter how many laps you ran, did a great job and participated well. All of your efforts were for a good cause! THANK YOU EVERYONE! THIS RUN WAS NOT POSSIBLE WITHOUT ANY OF YOU!

The Day Before The Run

So far the days leading up to the run have been kind of hectic. Organizing the day of the run is harder than I had thought. Thanks to the help of Mrs.Bauer and the other teachers the process has been a lot better for me. I appreciate everything that they have done to help me. Mrs. Del Curto has also been a huge help for me. She has helped the run a great deal by taking care of the sponsor sheets and organizing them and keeping the money safe. Thank you so much to everybody that has helped me! On the day of the run teachers will stand guard as security at potential dangerous areas. The volunteers will take care of the water stand and the handing out of the tokens to the runners. Thank you to all the teachers that have volunteered to help. Also thank you to the mothers who have decided to volunteer and help with the run. I have learned that time management is a lot harder than I had originally thought. I have learned that will the help of great deal....you can achieve anything. The process has been difficult but organizing and planning and managing the time well will help a great deal and that is what I have learned throughout this process. I hope tomorrow will be a great success. It is nice to see the school come together for a great cause. THANK YOU!

Dont Forget Donations

To everyone that has seen my blog or continues to follow it, I would like to remind everyone that the donation money is due tomorrow MONDAY, APRIL THE 23rd. I will be coming around to each classroom to collect the money tomorrow morning. Thank you!

Confirmation of Events

After meeting with Mrs.Bauer she gave me the news that the run will be on Friday, April the 27th from 14:30 - 15:30. This will be at the end of the school day. There is also hopefully going to be a bake sale the day before on Thursday April the 26th in order to prepare for the run the next day and to also raise additional money for the charity. I will hopefully as my class if they could bake something for the bake sale. I myself will bake something. Tomorrow is the last day before the Easter break which means ill be going around to each classroom reminding the kids of the run. I will also hand out slips that the kids can take home as a reminder. We are hopefully going to get some teachers to help supervise on the day. Also if any parents would like to help out it is more than appreciated. Please contact speedy_legs13@msn.com if you wish to help!

Thank you so much!

Another Step Taken

I have announced in front of the school my plans for the run and I have also revealed the location. I sent sponsor sheets home with them that they will keep over the holidays and raise money. I will hopefully get them back on the 23rd of April which is the first day back from holidays. I am so happy I am getting the opportunity to do this! Thank you again to all the people that have helped! 

Location Decided

I met with Mrs.Bauer. my CAS coordinator, and Claudia Doron on Monday. I received the arm bands I needed from Claudia in order to hand out to everyone in my school. I really appreciated that. The focus of our discussion was mainly deciding on a place for the run. We looked at different places around Buchs and we have decided that we are going to make the run just outside school grounds on a path near the little bridge. We will hopefully have water and fruit stands available for the runners. We will also have a chip system that will let us keep track of how many rounds each student or teacher runs. Hopefully afterwards there were be some sort of bake sale that can help us raise additional money for River of Hope. Tomorrow I will present at the school assembly. I will be handing out the sponsor sheets and hopefully the wrist bands. I get to initiate the starting of the run tomorrow. I am excited!

Steps To Take Before The Run

I am on my way to completing the final steps towards my run. On Monday I am going to hopefully print out all the number of sheets I need in order to be able to distribute them to my school. I think I will be presenting these sheets on Thursday during the whole school assembly. Also I have to create some kind of system that will allow me and the teachers to be able to keep track of the number of laps each student runs. I will also have to find a perfect location for the run; preferably exactly or close to 1 km. I will also have organize refreshments afterwards for the students who have ran. I am staying organized and managing my time wisely in order to get these steps done. Without the help from some of my teachers and especially Claudia Doron I would not be able to make this run possible. Also without all the help and support from my fellow classmates I would not be able to keep going on the pace that I am going. THANK YOU ALL!
