Run Ballarat Creswick Primary School had 45 students, staff and families involved in the Run Ballarat event. This made us the 7th highest ranking school for participants and we received a $250 Hart Sports voucher. For entering a team the school will also receive movie vouchers. The weather may have been cool and damp but the enthusiasm was high! Well done to all for getting involved in a great community cause.

## This Friday at the school assembly the prizes donated by the team at Wendouree Cotton On will be drawn.
