The annual fundraiser at Shelby’s school is a run-a-thon. The scholars get to run for one hour, and their laps are counted with tally marks on the back of their shirts. They take sponsors who pledge $ per lap, so they are running to earn more money. Of course, there are prizes based on what level of sponsorship you earn.
Shelby’s goal from the first time she looked at the brochure was to get a pogo stick. That level was earning $200-500…quite a lofty goal!
Sister worked HARD this morning. I was there to help tally the runners’ shirts.
Round and round they went!
Aunt Mille and Aunt Anna came to cheer Shelby on. They had both pledged to pay $1 per lap, but told Shelby if she got more than 20 laps, they would give her $2 per lap! Talk about motivation (smart idea Aunt Mill!) Mommy helped Shelby do the math, and with 5 sponsors promising to match this pledge, she would get her pogo stick! But if she did less than 20 laps, she wouldn’t reach her goal.
Aunt Anna ran some with Shelby
And so did Aunt Millie
When the timer went off, Shelby had…… TWENTY ONE laps!!!
Way to go Sister! And thank you to all of her sponsors. :)
