Our theme this year is MISSION: Possible!
Students will pretend to be secret spy agents as they run, jump, crawl, investigate, and tackle hurdles along the way. They will be using clues to solve each state of the mission along the way. Each stop will have a challenge and after completing the challenge they will be given the next clue. At the end each student will receive a Secret Spy Agent Badge.  Mrs. Stacy Lehman and Shalom high school students will lead all students on the fun 1K walk.
All students in PreK* through 2nd grade are eligible to participate in the challenge. Space is limited to the first 60 participants.
