This is the week!

      We are so excited to support the Finley 5K.  To learn more about Finley’s story go to www.finley105.org.
      As adults we know the importance of giving back and being part of something bigger than ourselves.  Although we each have our own charities we support, the Finley 5K brings us all together for one event. 
      Teenagers are often labelled egocentric or self-centered.  One of our goals at the 9th grade is to help our students see the value in supporting something/someone besides themselves.  In fact, college applications require it (more on that in a later post).  The Finley 5K is a great and easy way to do that.  Many of you have already registered.  We can’t wait to see you there.  If you haven’t, feel free to come out anyway.  Stand along the route and cheer.  Be sure to introduce yourselves to the Ellisons. 
      We would love nothing more than to see something eliminated in this generation (i.e. cancer, AIDS, diabetes, etc.).  Why not SIDS?  Wouldn’t it be great if one of our biomedical students eliminated it?
      Help us teach your kids the joy of giving back.
      Join us Saturday, August 30th 6:00PM (come a little early if you like) beginning on Memorial Drive of Georgetown College.
