All GLES students
How to Attend
Students: Participate with their class during the school day, no registration required.
Families: Volunteer to help during the event! You'll get to attend, help make the event a success, and get to cheer on our students.
What to Expect
Students move around the track at their own pace while music plays and volunteers cheer them on. Each lap is tallied on the back of the student’s event t‑shirt - a fun tradition that turns every shirt into a keepsake. Afterwards, check out the treat table for some well-earned goodies.
Movement is fully inclusive: students can run, walk, roll, use mobility devices, or participate in any way that works for them.
The class that raises the most earns The Big Shoe!
