Brehm Parents Association is planning a 5K Walk/Run for Sunday, November 7 to wrap up Fall Parent and Family Weekend. The race will begin at 9 a.m. in front of the Student Activities Center.
“We have more than 20 students who are running in the mornings before school, so, as a way to end a great weekend, we wanted to have the parents show our children support for taking action on their health,” said Maureen Wielansky, BPA President. “We hope it will give families time to bond with their children before they leave for home.”
Maureen said she hopes the 5K Walk/Run will be an annual event.
“I can see this as a great fundraiser for the school,” she said. “We could open it to the community, have sponsors and sell t-shirts.”
Maureen said she will participate in the 5K Walk/Run this year.
“I have participated in numerous 5Ks, and I love the length – not too long or too short,” she said. “Races are a great way to learn how to compete against yourself, so instead of the kids trying to beat someone else, they become more dedicated to self-improvement.”
All students, parents, family members, staff and faculty are invited to participate in the inaugural BPA 5K Walk/Run.
To sign-up, please e-mail Dalus Kulich, Coordinator of Communications at Brehm, at dkulich@brehm.org or call (618) 457-0371 ext. 1309.
There is no cost to participate in this year’s 5K event, however, to purchase a long-sleeve t-shirt commemorating the event, the cost is $8 to be paid prior to the race. Please make checks payable to Brehm Preparatory School.
