The Annual Walk-A-Thon is 20 Days away!
Between now and October 12th, students are encouraged to call or visit friends, family, and neighbors to ask for sponsorship in one of three ways:
1. Per-lap sponsor: the sponsor will pay an amount per 1/5-mile lap the student runs/walks
2. Per-lap with max sponsor: the sponsor will pay an amount per lap up to a maximum threshold amount
3. Flat-rate sponsor: the sponsor will pay a flat rate not based on the amount of laps (money should be collected at the time of taking the pledge).
Students can earn prizes for their fundraising participation (a sponsorship form must be turned in by 9:00 am the morning of the Walk-A-Thon in order to be eligible for prizes:
$50 Raffle: For every $50 in sponsorship, each student receives a raffle ticket toward a $50 gift card to the store of the winner's choice.
$250 Goal: Every student who meets the $250 goal will receive free dress and entrance to a root beer float party.
Most laps: The student in every grade who runs the most laps will receive a prize pack.
Highest Fundraiser: The student who raises the most money will receive a $50 gift card to the store of his/her choice.
Class Prize: The class that raises the most money (averaged out over the total students in the class) will win an afternoon of fun including an extended lunch break and a movie viewing with popcorn and ice cream.
