School walk-a-thon


The three musketeers: Buster, Michael and Griffin. There are actually about seven musketeers, but they seem to arrange themselves in groups of three a lot.

Here's a new squadron now: Griffin, Michael and Peter. Buster gives some last-minute orders.

This is either some pre-walk stretching or some kind of hula dance led by Maestra Robin, at right. Michael's mom and dad are behind the kids, center. The girl in with the boys is Aukje.

Ms. Harmon, the assistant principal, gets in on the warmups.

And we're off.

Walk-a-thon? Who walks?

"How many laps do I have, Dad?" Fifteen. It would eventually be 22, which was almost four and a half miles. Considering Buster's sponsors were told to expect about five laps, everyone took the news quite well. Buster was deservedly proud of his performance. Daisy only walked a little because she got blisters, but she did busy herself inventing a new sport.
