This is the week we celebrate our city!  Homewood is a special place and the We Love Homewood Festival is such an awesome way to come together as a community and show some love.  The We Love Homewood 5K is the starting line for the day.  The race is walker friendly but this year also features chip timing just in case you are looking for a PR.  Click here for a course preview.

BHam Corporate Challenge, WE ARE A LEGIT CONTENDER!

If you were part of BCC this year, you know how tough the competition was.  If you weren't there you missed an amazing event, fun time and great competition.  Talk to the folks who participated and go ahead and make plans to help our team out next year.  We will know our overall standings after the awards ceremony this Thursday.  I'll Tweet it and email it as soon as the results are in.  Shout-out to our Dodgeball Team who, once again proved that teachers have class!  We played through the loser's bracket all the way to the CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND of the winner's bracket and finished as the overall runner-up team in the biggest and baddest division.  Check out the BCC highlight video to see our athletes in action!

MAY 6th- We Love Homewood 5K.  Run or walk this fun 5K.  All proceeds benefit our fine arts program.  Last year over 500 participants  took part in our race.  The 5K is walker friendly but also will include chip timing this year to upgrade the experience for the more competitive runner.  You can expect to see the HHS band and other entertainment along the course in the Edgewood community.  There is a Spirit of the Streets contest which is a competition between neighbors of the Edgewood community to see which mile of the three mile race is the most spirited.  It's a great way for neighbors and race participants to come together to show how much we LOVE Homewood.
