Kidstriders to the Drake Relays

Hanawalt participated in its fifth year of having the kidstrider program. All students in grades Kindergarten through fifth participated for an eighteen week period with the goal of walking/jogging a distance of a twenty-six mile marathon. Each time a student covered a distance of five miles they were given a shoe token. This year twelve students successfully completed a marathon and were rewarded with a T-shirt and running a victory lap at this year’s Drake Relays. Congratulations to the following students who demonstrated a commitment to go the distance. Rowen Abbas, Ben Russel, Joshua Thompson, Erik Ingebretsen, Samuel Knoshaug, Nicholas Schnack Eli Steffensen, Aydin Bashich, Steven Verdi, Jack Romp, Jacob Thompson, and Erik Collet. Thank you once again Kathy Schnack for Coordinating our Striders program it wouldn’t be successful without your dedicated involvement and the rest of our wonderful volunteers.
