The Chadwick School Foundation hosted its annual 5K event on Saturday, April 6, 2014.
Students and school staff were scheduled to make up a snow day that Saturday, but those who wanted to participate in the walk/run or the cheaper Baby Bird Run were encouraged to do so.
Alumnus Ethan Ruhland placed first in the 5K event with senior Sydney Guardiola taking second.
After the race, everyone was invited to the baseball field for an after party complete with hamburgers and hotdogs, kick ball, and live music from Sean Spyres and the Chadwick School band.
Up Next Entertainment was also on-hand with a bounce house and a live DJ.
