Happy Heart Run Thank You!
Pledge Sheets Due On or Before Wed. March 9th
   Muirlands showed its big heart last Thursday! Thank you to all the students (and some great teachers too) who toughed it out in the heat, running and walking their way to the finish line of the Happy Heart Run. Special thanks to parent volunteers Annica and Bjorn Backlund, whose wonderful organization made the event run smoothly, the volunteers that came to support the runners, the PE Coaches who organized and prepared the students, and the local businesses that contributed great prizes and needed refreshments. Muirlands Foundation greatly appreciates all the pledges for the runners. These funds make it possible for us to have top notch equipment for a well-rounded PE program.
