TJ Walk-A-Thon was a HUGE success! The Admins and PE department hosted this event! During their specials, students went outside on a course that was designed for every 5 laps to equal 1 mile. Students earned beads for every lap & a gold bead for 1 mile. Every student was excited, energized, happy, thrilled & above all proud of their hard earned success! Thousands of laps total - many students had 1 mile achievements, 2 mile achievements & even 3 miles within 35 mins!!
