VHEW students at Mercedes Marathon
VHEW students Clara Williams, Audrey Trimm and Mary Katherine Meeks enjoy the Kids Mercedes Marathon.
Vestavia Hills Elementary West was well represented in the Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama Kids Mercedes Marathon in February. The Kids Mercedes Marathon is a five-month endurance building running/walking program designed for kindergarteners through fifth-graders. All students at VHEW began logging their miles soon after school began in August, taking part in “Monday Run Day” each week during their P.E. classes. Many of them chose to run the last mile of the marathon by participating in the Kids Mercedes Marathon. Each student completing the final mile received a Marathon Finisher’s Medal.
