Vancouver Kids Marafun:
Twenty-one Jr. School students participated in this year's Marafun on Sunday, May 2! Since March, these students have been running during PE and logging their efforts with the goal of completing almost a marathon (42.2 km) before race day, with the last 1.6 km completed on race day. Students braved the early start and the rain to accomplish their goal. Way to go! See the photo at right of our school's participants.
