Celebrating after completing the course.

Who ever said teachers are a boring bunch?

Well, we have photographic evidence to the contrary!  We can confirm that a group of teachers and students from Lyme-Old Lyme High School ran in the “Color Me Rad” 5K race that was held on Saturday, April 27, at Rentschler Field in Hartford to benefit the YMCA of Greater Hartford.

Color, color everywhere …

This is a most unusual race because it involves running through ‘color bombs’ (see photo above) so that you end up looking like — to quote the race publicity material — “a kindergarten art class gone wrong.”

Standing under a sea of color.

Did our brave LOLHS team wilt under the onslaught of color?  Far from it … It appears they thrived!  Veteran math teacher — and we suspect, chief organizer –Barbara O’Leary summed up the whole experience for LymeLine in the words, “It was a blast!”

No word yet on how our teachers placed in the race, but we’ll share that information as soon as we receive it.

Meanwhile, congratulations to our ground-breaking, color-loving and always-inspiring teachers!
