Running to Raise Awareness

The Grade 5A students that I mentored , recently organized a marathon run to raise awareness about poverty and world hunger and food waste. The event was part of their PYP exhibition action project, which aimed to encourage their school community to take action towards addressing this global issue.

The students worked tirelessly to plan and organize the marathon, which involved setting up a route, designing posters and banners, and coordinating with their mentor, PE teachers and PYP coordinator.

The money raised through the marathon run will be used to support a range of initiatives, such as providing food, and medical assistance to families in need.
