Two weeks ago, the Summer Power program at Southdale had an exciting opportunity to take part in a community outreach event with a group called World Harmony Run. World Harmony Run is an international torch relay devoted to advancing friendship and harmony between individuals and nations. This year, diverse international teams of runners will carry a flaming torch over 30,000 miles/48,000 km through more than 100 countries around the globe.The kids learned that “harmony begins with me” and that everyone makes a difference to build a strong team. The group told the kids that they ran from Shakopee this morning and try to run 100 miles per day. The group sang their theme song and each child was able to hold the torch.
Pictures were taken of the kids by World Harmony Run and are now posted on their website at http://www.worldharmonyrun.org/. Once you click on their website, scroll down to USA and click on 18 July, Mankato to Minneapolis. You can also view more pictures that Jenna took on her camera while they were here in the hallway by the Summer Power classroom.
