Wildcat Walk-a-Thon
Tuesday is the day we have been waiting for - the First Ever Wildcat Walk-a-Thon!
If you have been waiting to make your donation, wait no longer because time is running out! Many students and classes are neck and neck in the race to collect the most fundraising dollars. Your donation could take your student and/or his or her class over the top. Plus, your donations will support the programming all of our students, teachers and families enjoy, including: field trips, assemblies, family art and bingo nights, the talent show, family education nights and more!
As of Tuesday, we have raised $17,456.79. That means we reached our first goal and all students have earned an extra 15 minutes of recess. We are just $2543. 21 away from reaching our $20,000 stretch goal. If we hit $20,000, Mr. Smith will have a cooler of icy sports drink dumped on his head. That alone is reason to donate! The classes currently in the lead are: 1. Mrs. McDannell’s 3rd Grade Class, 2. Mrs. Jardine’s 5th Grade Class and 3. Mrs. Matz’s 1st Grade Class. Here is a quick video of your kids talking about the Walk in case you missed it: https://youtu.be/ARmzd2alPAc
Students will be given their Walk-a-Thon T-shirts on Monday. Please have them wear their shirt to school on Tuesday for the Walk.
