It’s race week in Manassas Park, and even during the pandemic, runners from all 50 states have pledged to participate.
This week, one of Manassas Park City Schools’ most successful events — its annual Cougar Literacy Run — is being held remotely in this age of social distancing due to the coronavirus.
From Manassas Park City Schools:
From May 2 – May 10, you get to choose the day, time, and course for your 5K or 1-mile run. No need to record or submit your times, but we do hope you will share your photos with us and participate in our Spirit Week (see below). Our school building might be closed, but it is evident the Cougar Spirit is Strong!
The Literacy Run has been hosted by the BELL Foundation for the last 15 years.
“Last year, BELL hosted our first community expo, inviting the community and local area business,” says Talya Conroy, BELL President, “The event was very successful, so our board decided to partner the two together this year as a result.”
BELL Foundation stands for Business Empowering Lifelong Learners. The organization promotes, aids, and encourages the educational activities and endeavors for Manassas Park City Schools.
“We raise funds for student scholarships, and award teacher grants for innovative or special projects to advocate for Manassas Park City Schools,” says Conroy.
Literacy goals are agreed upon between the teachers and their students.
