2nd Annual Pierce Downer Healthy Kids Committee Fun Run

The 2011 2nd Annual Pierce Downer Fun Run, with over 260 participants, was a great time for both runners and supporters. Runners on the one mile course were cheered on by parents, Pierce Downers staff and teachers, and members of the Downers Grove North soccer team. Coach Josh got the race off to a rousing start—thanks to him for donating his time again this year.

 Although every runner should be congratulated for finishing, kudos go to the girls and boys who finished first: Isabel Scarlati, Lindsay Ringbloom, Maggie Lampsa, Grace Stevenson, Abby Koors, Audrey Guerin, Emily Redpath, Delaney Forst, Kiera Baarstad, Alex Koors, Drew Pyburn, Johnny Klasing, Ben Schaub, Franklin Rutkowski, Cal Ferris, Eddie Pitts, Tommy Diehl, Jack Bulthuis, and Ethan Schaub. All ages were well-represented in the top finishers.

 Well done to all who ran and a big thank you to the organizers of the 2011 Fun Run, especially the members of the Healthy Kids Committee, including Laima Palubinskas, Carla Lampsa, Michelle Schaub, Beth Shuller, Karen Carroll and Sandra McDonell.

 Appreciation goes to organizations who donated materials for the Fun Run: RoadID, Dominick's, and Great American Bagel!

 A special thank you also to Dr. Mondale, Mrs. Breault and the entire staff of Pierce Downer Elementary School for supporting the Fun Run.
