The District 279 Foundation hosts its annual Reading is Fun event.
This year’s 14th annual Reading is Fun 5K, slated for September 21, will raise money to improve libraries in elementary, middle and high schools in Osseo Area Schools.
“It’s a great community gathering event and usually a beautiful morning to gather people together,” says Susan Wineland, the development director of District 279 Foundation.
People of all ages can register in advance or participate in walk-up registration. The runs will take place at Elm Creek Park Reserve and check-in starts at 8 a.m. There will be two races, a 1K and 5K. People of all skill levels are welcome to participate and take part in improving schools in the community.
“We often have mascots from the different schools that join us, and they’ll do their own little fun run before we start our 1K,” Wineland says. “That’s fun for the kids and families.”
Wineland says, “It’s one of my favorite events, because we have a lot of students that attend and take part.”
