Spotswood Elementary and VA Momentum are teaming up to bring a fun event called Lap-a-Thon to our school. There will be a short run/walk course at school with an inflatable finish line arch, activities and music to keep the energy high all day long! During one block of our school day, students will complete as many laps as possible of the established route within the given block time.
*All kids receive a neon bracelet for every lap they complete!*
Prior to the day of the event, participating kids have the opportunity to ask friends, neighbors, family, grandparents, etc. to sponsor them either with a flat dollar amount or an amount per lap. Funds raised will go towards a specific need at our school. All kids will be able to participate in Lap-a-Thon and fundraising is not a requirement.
The Lap-a-Thon Program is made possible by the support of Riner Rentals!
Donations to Lap-a-Thon are not tax deductible.
