Alumni Association to be held Nov. 1
Longtime Pattonville board member earns highest certification Pattonville fifth grader completes unique marathon When Adam Crivello crossed the finish line at the St. Louis Marathon
on Oct. 21, he was completing an activity that had taken him several
months of not only running but reading. Crivello, who is in the fifth
grade at Carrollton Elementary School in Pattonville, was one of 200
students in the St. Louis area to complete the first ever Read and Run
Marathon. The event required students to agree to read 26 books and
run 25 miles prior to running the final 1.2 miles as part of the October
marathon. The activity was for students age 6 through 12. Of the 400
students who started the project in May close to 200 crossed the finish
line in May. |
