ECE

Trike-A-Thon A HUGE Success!

CSD parent Danielle Reader shares her experience

Written by Danielle Bluestein Photographs by Lisa Matovich

The 2009 early childhood education Trike-A-Thon happened on March 5. What a wonderful event! All our ECE kids, several families, and many CSD staff showed up to cheer us on. The day was very special, but a lot happened before the actual event to get things up and running. Planning for the Trike-A-Thon began at Open House, believe it or not! Outside the front door of ECE we had a display and donation basket. This was the community’s first chance to show their support. We raised a lot of money that day, and we appreciate those donations. Once Open House was finished, it was a few months before the more detailed planning set in. It required the help of people all across campus, and within ECE, to make sure the event went well. Thank you to Tom Beach and Barrett Smith for arranging for the front circle to be blocked to traffic so we could make our “track.” 6

“Thank you,” to our families, for the ongoing support you showed through your enthusiasm, your time, your donations, and your wonderful spirit! “Thank you,” to the ECE staff of teachers, teacher’s assistants, volunteers, interns, and work experience students. You all helped in MANY ways to make sure the day went smoothly and everyone had fun! From the nametags to the morning setup, to passing out snacks and cleaning up bikes, this really was a team effort. Finally, to the ECE students! You are a wonderful group of kids, and it is a pleasure putting on these special events for you! Keep up your energy, your enthusiasm, and your spirit! We as teachers have a wonderful job because of you! “Thank you,” everyone, and lets make the next Trike-A-Thon, in 2010, even better than ever!
