Special Feature: The 2025 Fun Run

By Vera Lin, Dylan Wen, and Amber Kao ( Grade 8 ) Have you ever wondered how your actions could make a big difference in our community? Well, this year, a group of KAS students will be proving that each step you make counts! 

We are very excited to announce that we will be hosting the 2025 FUN RUN THIS MONTH!! This is an exciting event that brings our students, teachers, and even families together to support a worthy cause! At the same time, our goal is to promote health, fitness, and teamwork through physical activity. 

Our Community Project is connected to one of the Sustainable Development Goals ( SDGs ). Our main focus is Good health and Well-being. Today, we are in a world where many people often stare at their screens. We are here to combat that situation in a fun and healthy way!

What makes this special and different from other events? On Sunday, December 14th, we will be starting the event at the KAS soccer field at 10:00 a.m. Runners will need to complete a series of challenges to move on. The finish line will be at the soccer field, where everyone will be cheering for you! Afterwards, we will be having a closing ceremony, with prizes, awards, and FOOD!!

All of the proceeds gained from this event will go towards Love and Hope Charity, to support Children and Youth from disadvantaged or marginalized backgrounds, Children and Youth impacted by long-term abuse, and families in crisis and needing help.

There are a few ways that you all can help to make this run more successful: You can join the event as a volunteer to help out or as a participant. We also encourage HS clubs to collaborate with us on this event; if you are interested, please reach out to us! 

Some of you might wonder if you can participate if you don't want to run. Well, the people who sign up to participate in the run can choose to run, jog or even walk. Regardless of your athletic ability or experience, EVERYONE is invited!
