Show Grovecrest PAW Power 5K Finally at the Starting Line by Aimee Charlton Students and teachers at Grovecrest Elementary have been hard at work this year improving their academics and physical fitness levels while demonstrating winning attitudes. It has been paying off in numerous ways! We're nearing the goals we set for our upcoming 5K Race and 1-Mile Fun Run which is on Saturday, April 30! Two of our goals were to have 500 plus race participants and to raise $12,810 for a new music mu-sic lab for the school. We currently have approximately ap-proximately 400 registered participants and we're hoping hop-ing this week to get more people to register so we can meet our mark! If you want to participate but haven't registered yet, do it now! Registration will be available right up until 7:45 a.m. the morning of the race. However, you'll save a little money if you register prior to Saturday. If you want to participate, partici-pate, there are several ways to be involved. Register to walkjogrun at www.run-thatrace.com. www.run-thatrace.com. To be a sponsor spon-sor or donate in-kind items, contact Aimee Charlton at aimeefullmonty.org.

Race packets will be distributed on Friday, April 29, from 3 to 5 p.m. in Grovecrest El-ementary's El-ementary's main lobby as well as at 7 a.m. on race day at the PG Jr. High track. We applaud our generous gener-ous sponsors who have been so instrumental in helping us towards our monetary goal. Thanks to them, we're nearing our goal of $12,810.
