Fort Zumwalt’s Elementary Schools are excited to continue their partnership with Fort Zumwalt’s Education Foundation in support of the Grow Your Own Teacher Foundation.
We ask you, the parents/caregivers, to join us in encouraging our students to be active, promote reading and practice being a good friend to all. Students will be asked to read 26 developmentally appropriate books (30 pages = 1 book, if reading chapter books), complete 26 good deeds/acts of service and run 25 miles individually and then complete our final 1.2 miles on race day, Saturday, April 25, 2026. This will add up to a full marathon distance of 26.2 miles. The cost is $15. The cost covers a medal and shirt for each student.
If interested, please reach out to Ms. Chapie at Schapie@fz.k12.mo.us. Registration closes on Friday, Oct. 10th.
