Connect For Respect
5K Run/Walk 2022-23

Thank you to everyone who was able to attend Saturday's Connect for Respect 5K! We had a nice mix of students, their family members, school staff, and community members, along with perfect weather, that made for a fun community event.

 

Whether you came to walk, run, cheer, or a combination, we appreciate your presence and school spirit that made the event a success.

 

Most of our events are planned by a few PTA members, but cannot truly become possible without all of the volunteers. Thank you to all the students and family members who helped set-up, helped throughout the event, and who helped clean-up, so that we could leave Laramie Park the way we found it!

 

A special thank you to the Skokie Park District, Skokie Police Department, and Fairview Administrators who worked with the PTA to come up with alternate possibilities, which eventually led to the ability to hold the 5K at Laramie Park.

 

Thank you to Glenn Jimenez, our DJ, Tacos Y Botanas Del Chavo Bar & Grill food truck, and the Kona Ice truck for keeping us entertained, well fed, and cooled off, respectively!
