An 'obstructathon' in the mud

It has been one more great success of an event, thanks to our dedicated PTA members: this past Friday, the 4th of March, was the day of the first-ever Amano Obstructathon. What is an “obstructathon,” you ask? Part race, part obstacle course, part mud-bath . . . all FUN! Yes, Amano students got to display their muddy prowess, diving into pools of murky waters, climbing steep cliffs, traversing the “fearful forest,” squeezing through tight spaces, balancing across slippery beams . . . well, you get the idea
Suffice it to say, a good time was had by all. And yes, young and old alike participated in the fun, with good fund-raising success. Our student participants accumulated sponsors for the event, some of them one-time and some for each round they completed. Considering we had completion numbers as high as one young man’s 28 rounds, we think it was definitely a successful venture. Afterwards, as each participant recovered, they were treated to cups of fine chicken soup and hot chocolate, prepared by hardworking parent hands.
Yes, we couldn’t have said it better than one proud parent, as we wound down, who noted that it had been “good, dirty fun—clean, dirty fun, that is!”
