Mmmmmmmm..... Pancakes

Pancakes are great.  I love pancakes, but who has the time and talent make good pancakes.  For those of us with an inner Martha Stewart, you have to mix like a thousand ingredients together with NASA precision, (or I guess you could cheat and buy the pre-made mix).  But that’s just the start of the ordeal.  Then you have to try to get the right amount of batter into the pan without it running into the other puddle of batter in the pan, and then use some sort of psychic powers to determine when to flip them over.  (You know that whole “watch for the bubbles” thing is a cruel inside joke perpetrated and perpetuated by the cookbook publishing industry.)  And who wants to waste a whole Saturday morning on making half-runny and half-burnt pancakes and then cleaning up a sink full of mixing bowls and frying pans when you should be outside enjoying the day.  Thankfully, the Wyoming School Foundation and Wyoming Youth Services have heard your cries and have provided an opportunity for you to enjoy the day with your family AND have a piping hot pile of proper pancakes.

Mark your calendars for Saturday, March 15th  as The Wyoming School Foundation (WSF) and Wyoming Youth Services (WYS) once again team up to provide Wyoming families with a morning of fitness and breakfast with the 3rd annual 5K FUNRUN and 13th annual Pancake Breakfast.

The Wyoming School Foundation kicks off the morning with the 5K FUNRUN, starting at 9:00 a.m.  Runners of all ages are encouraged to participate.  The course is a 2.5K loop--run it twice for a full 5K run!

Once the run is completed, head to the Civic Center for a rewarding and delicious PANCAKE breakfast, sponsored by Wyoming Youth Services.  This annual event is the unofficial kick-off to Spring.  The breakfast runs from 8:00-11:00 a.m.  Admission is free with your race registration or available at the door for $5.00 (children 3 and under are free).  Breakfast includes pancakes, sausage, fruit and choice of beverage.

District Championship Tickets

From AD Extraordinaire, Jan Wilking:

The Wyoming Boys’ Basketball team will play for a District Championship on Friday at 7:15pm at the University of Dayton Arena vs. Thurgood Marshall High School.  Tickets for the game are $6 presale and available through 3pm on Friday in the Wyoming Athletic Office.  On Friday there are 3 games at UD (Wyoming is the 2nd game) so the evening could be sold out as there are 3 local Dayton teams playing.  GET YOUR TICKETS EARLY as there is no guarantee tickets will be available that evening at the door.

We will have at least one student bus going to the game – leaving Wyoming High School at 5:45pm on Friday.  Tickets for the bus are $4 each and will be sold Tuesday – Friday at lunch or until we are sold out.

This is a huge night for our boys’ program!  Please come out and support the Cowboys.  On Wyoming!

For those of us on a more leisurely track today, take your time and enjoy some more photos from the game.

Off the Couch and Outside

I know it's been a long cold Winter.   There's been a lot of days spent curled up on the couch in front of the TV waiting for warmer weather.  You've got to get outside and get some exercise.  I mean just look at yourself.  Scratch that, you look amazing... totally buff, really... wow.  Your neighbors, however, have really let themselves go this Winter.  It's pretty bad when you, sorry, they have to use extra shoestrings to extend the drawstring on your, again sorry, their sweatpants.  I know you don't need the exercise, but maybe you could be an inspiration to others to get off the warm cozy couch and head outside.  Sign up for the 5K FUNRUN.  Think of the lives you could be saving.

Mark your calendars for Saturday, March 15th  as The Wyoming School Foundation (WSF) and Wyoming Youth Services (WYS) once again team up to provide Wyoming families with a morning of fitness and breakfast with the 3rd annual 5K FUNRUN and 13th annual Pancake Breakfast.
