When & Where:
Monday March 3rd, 2008.
Grades 1-5 at the High School Track.
Grades 1-3 will begin around 12:45 after lunch.
Grades 4-5 will begin around 1:30-1:45 and complete
their run before school dismisses for the day.
Tuesday March 4th, 2008.
The Kindergarten is scheduled to run at the new
grass field adjacent to the Kindergarten. Their
event will begin after lunch and last approximately
1 hour.
How We Raise Funds: Collecting sponsors for
the walk/run. It is a flat donation, not based on
the number of laps done by the student. We raised
$12,000 in the spring of 2005!
Prizes are given to the top student and class. The
kids love this event - it gets them out of the classroom
during school time. They like to walk/run around the
track and enjoy a treat after the event.
It is a fun, pretty low-key, easy involvement.
Volunteers are needed to provide water for the kids,
mark off the lap cards (the kids like to keep track
of how far they went), and squirt the kids with water.
There is lots of parent/kid interaction in a fun
atmosphere!
