Mr. Jaime has been speaking to a handful of Escuelita parents who also enjoy running in their free time. He thought it would be fun to organize a group to run the 49th annual Daisy Dash 5K or 10K in Sunset Valley on October 18th.

The Daisy Dash is Austin’s oldest 5K and it was originally founded to include female runners who were at the time excluded from major races like the Boston Marathon. These days, the Dash raises money to support The Girls Movement which aims to empower young girls through running, promoting physical activity, building confidence, and offering practical resources—like free first sports bra fittings.

Escuelita community members will be running the 5K together, but we are happy to cheer on any folks who want to take on the 10K! The event also features a 400m or 800m Kids’ Dash for any kiddos who want to join in on the fun! Register for the Daisy Dash here.

To prepare for this event, Mr. Jaime will be organizing an “Adelante Runners Crew” on Saturdays at 8:00am starting next Saturday, September 12th. If you’re interested in joining the crew, whether or not you’ll be racing, email the office for more details!

Escuelita will host its annual Fall/Halloween Carnival in our playground of the main building on Friday, October 30th from 3:15-5:15pm.

Each class will host a booth to manage at which the children will take turns playing for “prizes”. The carnival is free and open to all Escuelita families, relatives, and friends.

Any adults who wish to come participate are welcome to grab their kiddo and make their way through the carnival booths with them. Any children whose family members aren’t able to attend will participate in the booths with their regular teachers. A reminder that parking in our lot is limited, so any families parking in the surrounding area must observe and respect all neighborhood parking requirements.

We also request your help donating healthy and safe treats to hand out as prizes to each child for “playing” at the booths, as mentioned above. Also mentioned above, we request families help in working the booths in shifts throughout the duration of the carnival. Communication about this will come from your Room Parent.

We highly encourage that your child dress in Halloween costume during the carnival. You can bring the costume in the morning of Oct. 31st, and the teachers will help your child to get dressed in it after nap-time. If you are able to get here early to help your child get into costume, it would be a big help!

The children will also make their own container in which to store the prizes that they collect. Classes will attend the carnival during these time slots:

3:15-4:15 pm
Gold, Silver, White, Green, Red, Yellow, Purple & Turquoise Rooms

4:15-5:15 pm
Pink, Orange, Blue, Copper & Rainbow Rooms
