**Now, I know what you are thinking?! I am NOT a runner!
You don't have to be! But, here's what they ARE going to do.

Registration opened for Running with Scissors on June 10th. That day, once you are registered, you can begin your 16 week training plan. You can train as aggressive, or non-aggressive as you would like.

We will all train together, leading up to the big day (October 10) and then we will all run or walk together! Yes, that's right. How fun! Can you imagine us....all of us together, in our Running with Scissors tshirts, charging the streets together, not only accomplishing this goal for ourselves, but also partnering with the Susan G. Komen foundation! How exciting! I get chills every time I think about it!!

And, if you are planning to be a walker, don't worry, you won't be alone, there will be a team of walkers there too!!! Hey, maybe your shirt could say "Walking with Scissors!" Ok, ok.

And, if you don't want to do either, you can come down, and cheer the rest of us on...or don't worry, there will be a Team Member in the crop room, so you can just keep on cropping!

But, the best part about it is this: the teachers, especially me and Gretchen McElveen are ready to help you accomplish this goal! we have BIG, I mean, BIG
plans for YOU!

If you have any questions, you can email them:
scrapetcevents@gmail.com

Until then, get your running shoes ready!!!
