WALKATHON

The Walkathon Pledge Drive is off to a great start.  Thank you to everyone who have brought in their pledges so far.  Last week Grade 3 brought in the most pledges followed by Grade 6 and then Kindergarten and Grade 4 tied in 3rd place.

We will be walking on Friday May 4th, 2018 which also happens to be Star Wars Day (May the 4th be with you).  As such, we are embracing the theme of Star Wars for the event.

Friday May 4th is an early dismissal day.  School ends at 12:15pm 

 

For each pledge sheet turned in, students get the opportunity to acquire many different prizes.

Grand Prizes

The early bird draw will be on April 20th for a new 2018 Amazon Fire HD 8 Tablet with Alexa.

The grand prize draw will be for a 2018 32GB iPad (estimated value of $475.00).

The top three grades will win a class reward:

Gold – Pizza Party, non-uniform and extra recess
