We will enjoy some extra time outside this week to enjoy this wonderful weather 🙂

ROCK THE WALK!! Fundraiser :)

Greetings parents and students and welcome to the 2014-2015 school year! We have officially kicked-off our 2014 ROCK THE WALK, which is our primary fundraiser for the year. Our goal is to have all students participate and for each to strive for a personal goal of raising at least $25 to support their school! This is the ONLY Parent Club Fundraiser of the year. All money raised goes toward funding family activities, school activities and books/materials for the library and classrooms.

The Walk is SEPTEMBER 25 between 9:30 and 11:30.
◾9:45 PK & Kindergarten
◾10:00 Grade 3
◾10:10 Grade 1
◾10:20 Grade 2
◾10:30 Grade 4
◾10:35 Grade 5

Here are some ways you can add some fun on the day of the walk-a-thon:
◾Wear blue, gold and Eagle spirit wear
◾Dress up like your favorite Rock Star
◾Accessorize with socks, bandanas, beads and hats

To make participation easy for everyone, we are holding the event during the school day, where students can walk, jog or run around the course. All participants will receive a special treat at the end of the event: A cool blue flashlight.

We love to have volunteers to pass out water during the walk (9:30-11:00) please contact Amanda Impens at 616-443-3814 or amandabeaimpens@yahoo.com
