Kansas City, Kan., Public Schools Superintendent Cindy Lane today worked out with fifth-graders at John F. Kennedy Elementary School to prepare for the “Are You Faster than a Fifth-Grader” race on April 25.

Superintendent Lane talked to the students about the importance of keeping physically fit, as well as keeping their grades up.

The fifth-graders at Kennedy School, 2600 N. 72nd, gathered and ran a few short warm-up sprints on the playground, then took about 10 or so laps around the playground for their workout.

While some of the students were in front of the superintendent in the sprints, the superintendent left some of the students behind in the long-distance laps today.

After the practice, Superintendent Lane said she believed the kids were ready for the annual race on April 25.

About 500 students, administrators, staff and community leaders are expected to participate in the race April 25, which will start at the Schlitterbahn and end at Sporting KC Stadium.

After the end of the workout Tuesday at John F. Kennedy Elementary School, students, teacher and superintendent gathered for a moment. (Staff photo)
