Foot Traffic is a main sponsor of the annual Chapman Swift Family Run (this year on September 14, 2019). They host a summer series “All Comer Track Meets” on Tuesdays at 6 PM at Grant High School. A similar format to the Swift Family Run, it’s a fun series featuring all kinds of track and field events. The first one starts tonight, June 18th, and it’s looking like a perfect evening for a family outing and run. Kids and adults of all ages are welcome! More info at https://foottraffic.us/summertrack/.
They also have week long Summer Run Camps starting in July, with space still available! Sign up at https://foottraffic.us/summercamp/.
Of the 131 end-of-the-year survey respondents, 49 entered the drawing for the Eb and Bean gift card.
Those names were entered into a spreadsheet and a random number generator chose #3 (Anneka Winters) and #21 which indicated, “If I’m drawn, please provide the gift card to a staff member who is rarely recognized for their efforts. “
The PTA board has chosen to award the second card to Dave Gardner, our school custodian. Thank you, Dave, for all your hard work! Thanks again to all who took the time to share their thoughts on our school community and congrats to the winners! A full report on the survey results will be emailed in the next week or so.
