Before leaving for Eugene we had a great visit from Jason Cordery and his students from Greendale Elementary School in Pierrefonds, Quebec. Jason is a runner and long-time follower of chasingKIMBIA. Last year he motivated his students to raise money for the Foundation. As part of a recent school trip to Massachusetts (Cape Cod, Boston, Lexington and Concord), Jason and hisstudents stopped in Concord to deliver the money they had raised. All told the students from Greendale Elementary, Greendale Home & School Association, and Pierre Elliott Trudeau Elementary School (Vaudreuil, Quebec) raised over $2,000. When Tom asked if the students would like to set up a letter exchange with students from Kenya, they nodded enthusiastically.
A big THANK YOU to Jason, his administrators and fellow teachers, and of course the students.
