We are excited to begin preparing for our 11th Annual Hornet Hustle, our Julia Green Marathon! Between Wednesday, March 17th and Friday, April 25th, your child will work toward the big, exciting goal of running or walking 25 miles at school and at home.
On Friday, April 25th, students and families will gather on campus by grade to complete the final marathon mile in a "race" along Vailwood Drive! After the race, you are invited to Gather on the Green for dinner and music.
The objective of the Hornet Hustle is to create healthy exercise habits for strong muscles, to cultivate good sportsmanship, to learn to try your best and, most of all, to HAVE FUN!
This year we are going hybrid and will have digital and paper copy running logs where your child can begin recording miles. Information on these logs will come home on March 17th after Spring Break. Paper running logs must be returned to school each day in the student folder in order to earn the foot charms. Students are on their honor to record each mile with integrity.
Hornet Hustle is a great fundraiser for our Julia Green PTO. Please help your child find ‘sponsors’ for their running! This can be family members, neighbors, co-workers, etc. It may be a grandmother who says, “I’ll donate $1 for every mile you run!” We are encouraging donations to be made online this year, but will also accept cash or checks, dropped off at the main office in a labeled bag.
