Last month Menlo Elementary School held its 1st Annual 5K Glow Run on Saturday October 24. The event turned out to be a huge success. There were 100 runners sign up.

Menlo School Receptionist and a member of the event’s organizing team Amanda Larkins stated, “There was a lot of time and hard work put into pulling this event off but well worth it. The school recently started a Health and Wellness Program and this was a great way to get it kicked off. “  She added, “The school would like to say a special thanks to all that helped, there were many teachers, parents, the Chattooga County Sheriff’s office, EMS, Menlo Fire Dept., and Menlo Lions Club. Without your help this event wouldn’t have been the success it was.”

Menlo School is planning more events throughout the school year, including another 5K run in the spring, to involve the community.
