West Seattle scenes: Lafayette Walk-A-Thon

Thanks to Luckie for that photo from an Admiral District tradition – today’s edition of Lafayette Elementary‘s annual fundraising Walk-A-Thon – she also sent us this photo of new 4th-grade teacher Greg Schroeder and his daughter:

We dropped by the Walk-A-Thon during what turned out to be a bit of a lunchtime lull, but we did catch up with Todd Crooks, longtime Walk-A-Thon emcee, who did it today for the last time — the last Lafayette student in his family is in 5th grade this year (Crooks himself is a Lafayette alum):

Lafayette mustered a huge list of sponsors for the Walk-A-Thon – check out the back of the T-shirt:

Congratulations, Leopards!

    Thanks WSBlog for the publicity on our event! The kids had a ball and we were thrilled to have no rain (for once!!!). Thanks to all our dedicated volunteers who came out and helped!

Sorry, comment time is over.
