At Cherry: The students at the Cherry Campus jogged, walked and skipped a grand total of 751 miles. They worked so hard one first grader said even her freckles were sweating! Students at Cherry certainly earned the Musketeer Hat for the second year in a row. Vice-Principal Diatta walked several laps with the kids, Coach Djiba sang them songs and Mme Marchand should get a spirit award! Très bien!
At Oak: Oak Campus students logged a grand total of 891 miles (not including their walk to and from the park). Head of School Mr Mbengue walked with the kids, Mme Charruau showed off her skills running the whole way with her class and Coach Dieng played the drums for the kids- oh la la!

While all of the teachers and classes did a great job, special thanks goes out to our dedicated parent volunteers at both campuses. These activities simply would not happen without you. In addition, our PE teacher at Oak, Mr Dieng and our Athletic Director Mr Djiba were also invaluable the day of the event!
The best part about this fundraiser (besides the money raised) is our students engaging in a healthy activity outdoors and having fun doing it!
