Ballenger Creek Elementary School Bobcat Fall Character Counts 5k
2016-11-05 08:30 - 10:30 (America/New_York) | Ballenger Creek Elementary School, 5250 Kingsbrook Dr, Frederick, MD, 21703, United States
BCES Bobcat Character Counts Run! Our spring run was so successful that we had to organize a fall edition.
8:10am: 1k Fun Run
8:30am: 5k Race
In keeping with the original focus, we present the 2016 BCES Bobcat Character Counts 5K/1K Run/Walk. Our theme this fall is “Trot to Give Thanks to our Heroes; Past, Present and Future.” Our goal is to encourage our students, families, teachers, and community members to come out and move together and give thanks to our community heroes. Benefits that participants can enjoy are improved self-esteem, self accomplishment, and pride in their school and community. The event allows each participant to exercise the citizenship pillar (as well as other pillars of Character) as they “contribute their part” by helping to raise money for activities and programs at BCES sponsored by the PTA and for a new piano for our music department.
