I just had to share this amazing news! One of our parents, Helen Ryvar, has accomplished the unbelievable feat of running 1,000 consecutive half marathons—a new world record! She truly embodies one of  our school’s value of determination. For 1,000 days straight, she managed to balance a full-time job and caring for her three children while achieving this incredible goal. I was lucky enough to meet  her after the final run on Friday! You can follow her inspiring journey on Facebook, where she’s also raising money for Cancer UK. A truly remarkable feat!
