Dear Parents,
The Kindergarten Staff is pleased to announce El Marino's 19th Annual Kindergarten Mini-Marathon! The Mini-Marathon, a one-mile run/walk, will take place on the school grounds on Wednesday, May 29:
9:15 Warm up
9:30 Begin Mini-Marathon
10:00 End
All students have been practicing to gradually increase their strength, stamina, and confidence to ensure that they have a successful Mini-Marathon. Although the P.E. and Kindergarten staff will work with the students during school, you can also help prepare your child for the big event. Specifically, at home you can emphasize the importance of a healthy diet and encourage your child to run at least once each weekend for a minimum of ten minutes.
All Kindergarten students will wear the purple "EM Class of 2018" shirts that have been generously provided by our PTA. Please let your child's teacher know if you can wash the shirts for his/her class after the event. Please notify your child's teacher if your child has a health concern that might interfere with his/her participation in this activity.
We thank you for your support, and look forward to another fun and memorable Kindergarten event!
Sincerely,
Tracy Pumilia, Principal
