GOING TO EXTREMES FOR EDUCATION

A group of five Granton educators walked from their school to Marshfield last night to raise money for a new outdoor learning initiative.
Twenty miles, and over six hours later, the gang had raised over $2,000.
4-K teacher Ron Klein organized Thursday’s 2nd annual fundraising walk from Granton Elementary to Christ Lutheran Church in Marshfield.
“Last year, I had been much more prepared. I had been running on the treadmill. I felt great all the way through the walk,” Klein explained. “This year, I really hadn’t had time to do any training.”
Klein was joined on the walk by Kindergarten teacher Annette Woller, Title 1 coordinator Becky Volonec, English/Spanish instructor Sara Cisar and principal Craig Anderson.
“The hamstrings are a little tight, I won’t lie to you,” Anderson said. “It was a lot of fun.”
The Green Team project includes a school garden, themed gardens and the construction of an outdoor classroom and walking trails.
