Dust off those walking/running shoes and mark your calendars! Ballenger Creek and Tuscarora Elementary Schools are combining efforts to emphasize and promote community health and wellness, as well as help those in need. We will be holding a 5K/1 mile Fun Run to be held on Saturday April 24, 2010.

A portion of the proceeds from this fun-filled family and community event, will benefit the Manor Parish Food Bank to assist families in need. The remaining proceeds will go to BCES and TuES Physical Education and Wellness Departments. In order to make this event successful, we need lots of help. There are many ways that you can get involved:

· Be a part of the planning committee

· Help on race day

· Ask for sponsorships from area businesses or from your place of employment

· Participate in the walk/runWatch for further information which will be coming soon.

We will be hosting two volunteer meetings, one during the school-day and one in the evening. We hope you can attend one of the two meetings.
