PFE Boosterthon Fun Run

PFE held what was formerly known as the jog-a-thon.  They brought it a company to help this time.  Some things were better, some weren't.  But Zack was excited about getting pledges and earning prizes.  Both Spencer and Zack ran more than the maximum 35 laps.  Spencer ran 38 laps and Zack ran around 52 laps.  Zack raised $258.75 and Spencer got $38.75.

I was impressed with my son Zack.  I met a lady who's son is autistic and in Zack's class. I have heard about Jose' from Zack often.  Apparently she hears about Zack all the time at home as well from Jose'.  Zack and another friend, Nate Atwood, have taken to Jose'.  They help him and watch out for him.  When Zack and Nate had finished their laps (the maximum of 35), they continued to run, helping Jose' work his way around the circle and stand in line to get another check mark.  It was amazing they way they looked out for him.  His Mom told me she had been worried about integrating him into a regular classroom when they moved here, but she is very grateful for Zack and Nate for taking Jose' under their wing.  Instead of feeling awkward around him, they include him and help him.  She expressed thanks for teaching him well at home.  I'm glad Zack is able to be such a great friend and example.
