In an effort to support our students both inside the classroom and out, some of the 8th grade teachers ran the mile during 5th period on Tuesday. The weather was perfect: slight overcast, a perfect 73 degrees, westerly wind to cool us down as we ran. As you can tell by our picture, we teachers were excited about running the mile with our students!

I truly believe that we inspired a number of students to run their personal best times. After all, what 8th grader wants to be able to say, "My teacher beat me in the mile!" Several times I noticed certain students start to pick up their pace when they saw us gaining on them. It was a great experience, and I could really feel the "team spirit" as students high-fived us upon our victorious finish.
