The Detroit Tigers mascot high-fived runners Friday along the course in Oak Park during the international school's annual fundraiser.
Detroit Tigers mascot Paws, appropriately dressed in his furry costume on a chilly morning Friday, cheered on students during the annual Norup International School fun run in Oak Park. Despite the shiver-inducing weather, the young runners had a blast and tunes provided by deejay Gordy Oliva of Huntington Woods kept parents' booties shaking as they encouraged their little runners and snapped photos along the route. [Did you take pictures during the event? Upload them to the gallery!] Proceeds from the fun run will be used for enrichment programs such as field trips, in-house speakers, books and more.

Two Huntington Woods girls raise money for a 2013 spring break trip to Costa Rica by teaching campers about directing, editing and other elements of making movies.
A group of filmmakers gathered this week in Huntington Woods to shoot scenes in one of the neighborhood's lush back yards. But, these were no ordinary filmmakers. They were participants in a film camp run by Norup International School students Grace Stewart, 12, and Adena Collens, 13, who are raising money for a 2013 spring break trip to Costa Rica. "I suggested to Grace – because she's always making movies – that she could charge a litte more than babysitting and do 'babysitter with a camera' and she said 'no, it should be a camp,' " mom Jane Stewart explained. The camp is open to kids entering grades four, five and six with a limit of eight participants per session. The first session wraps up Friday, but another is scheduled July 23-27. …
