Congratulations Marathon Kids Finishers!

3/8/2010
This year, 111St. Andrew's students in grades 1-4 participated in the Marathon Kids Challenge, a free program that teaches them the importance of eating healthily and staying active.

During the program, participants are challenged to run or walk 26.2 miles over six months and to eat five servings of fruits and vegetables each day for at least 26.2 days of each month. They keep track of their progress by coloring in squares on their Marathon Kids log, a fun and easy tracking system designed to help them to stay focused by seeing their progress in a visual way.

On February 20, our Marathon Kids participants completed the program by participating in the "Final Mile" challenge at the Toney Burger Center with thousands of kids from all over Austin. Each finisher received a medal and T-shirt for a job well done.
