For our big school fundraiser this year, we changed things up. We had a school event on Friday, May 4th for the kids - The Amazing Grace Race. We planned our own version of the popular tv show. The kids had a blast! We then hosted a family version of the race as well as a Cinco De Mayo festival afterwards. What a great event! LOTS of work, but LOTS of fun! Totally worth it! We were able to raise over $15,000 and after expenses, brought in over $13,000 for our school! So proud of our school community! What a great day!
Here are some of the pictures from our Cinco De Mayo Festival and Amazing Grace Race:

All in all, after everything that had happened, I was thrilled with how the two day event turned out. Everyone kept saying what fun they had and how great they thought it was. Whew! Lots of months and hours spent getting ready all paid off! Thanks to everyone who helped make this day possible and such a great success!
I'm also proud to announce that the Chunko/Mallory team captured first place in the race!!!
