CES holds pumpkin run

The PE department at Crestline Elementary held the annual Pumpkin Run in October. More than 500 students K-6 ran the mile as parents and siblings cheered them along. 

The first Pumpkin Run was held in the fall of 1995, which means next October will mark the 20th anniversary of the event. 

The students are allowed to use this mile run as part of their physical fitness test. There is an entry fee for the run that covers the cost of a special shirt, but the majority of the proceeds goes to purchase equipment for the PE department that would normally not be in the budget, such as a climbing wall, scooters, a sound system and this year’s “GaGa pit.”

Overall boy winners for 2014 were Nicholas Miller, Thomas Comini and Spence Morano. Overall girl winners were Grace Knight, Ann Winston Morano and Lucy Redden.
