Roosevelt Elementary and Martin Luther King Elementary Ready programs joined forces to promote physical activity with their 3k Color Run in 2017. White t-shirts were tied dyed with the colors on My Plate. Students walked from MLK Elementary School to meet their pen pals at Roosevelt Elementary, who they had been writing to all year. Pen Pals started the course together and encouraged each other to finish the course. Over 90 students completed the 3K run and then started the My Plate obstacle course to learn how to stay healthy. All students who started the event finished in record times.The vote was to extend the distance to a 5K run this year. Roosevelt Elementary School READY program will host this year event. The Ready Teachers at both sites have reported that the students have been training for the distance and we expected record times again this year over a longer distance. This event will happen the first week of March.
