Kid's Fun Run for the Arts
Thursday Sept 27 - 8:30-11:30 AM
This is an annual run-a-thon where the kids get pledges for every lap they run around the HS track. The money goes straight to the school for art supplies, used by the whole school throughout the year. Plus, it is a really healthy & fun activity for the kids! Look for more info coming home next week.
We need volunteers!!
We need 10+ parents (each shift) to help punch the cards as kids run laps, distribute treats & cheer the kids on.
The shifts will probably be:
Grades 1-2 9:30 to 10:15AM.
Grades 3-4 10:30 to 11:15AM.
Grades 5-6 11:30 to 12:15 PM
Kinder 12:30-1:00 (in the gym)
Young children are welcome to come. We'd love to have you for just an hour, or all morning if you wish. More info to come.
