***ATTENTION***
Yesterday, we posted about an opportunity for our 3rd grade girls to sign up for Marathon Kids! However, the QR code was not taking participants to the correct place. That should be fixed now!!
Scan the QR code or use this link to sign up your third grader for this year's Marathon Kids (in place of Girls on the Run).
