Why 1.43? Mr. Fred Rogers was a visionary who authentically taught kindness, compassion, inclusion, empathy, and integrity.   143 is Mr Rogers code for I (1 letter) love (4 letters) you (3 letters).  He is dear to our CVE community.   His philosophy, including 143, has been woven into the fabric of our school.  So a distance of 1.43 seemed perfect!  We hope you will join us in carrying his spirit into the 1.43 Fun Run/Walk Because We Love CVE ! Bee Kind, Have Fun, Let’s Run!

I love CVE is 143 too!

We hope to see you there!!
