Welsh Valley will celebrate a "Go Green!" themed Community Day on Wednesday June 9th where students and staff will engage in a full day of activities that reinforce school spirit and community.  Students will be able to participate in multiple service projects on and around community day to help locally, nationally & globally. 

Prior to Community Day, students will be running an Alex's Lemonade stand in the morning.  On June 9th, all grade levels will participate in a Walk-A-Thon for Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation.  A DJ will keep the students moving, and there will be games set up in the infield, such as the popular teacher dunk tank from last year. Students will be able to pre-purchase chances at lunch and all profits will go toward the Lower Merion Scholarship Fund. We will also be running a school supply drive for a school in Jamaica attended by a Welsh Valley teacher.

Students will also participate in outdoor field activities that will foster cooperation and team building skills.  On some cooler downtime, the "Go Green!" theme will be developed through activities that highlight environmental issues and school spirit.  The day will wrap up with a slide show that reflects the successful 2009-2010 year at Welsh Valley.

Fundraising Details:
1.)  Help Locally-  There will be "Dunk Tank" & "Speed Kick" chances ($1 a chance) on sale at the lunches June 3rd through June 8th.  The proceeds will benefit the LMSD Scholarship Fund.

2.)  Help Nationally- Students will run an Alex's Lemonade Stand ($1 a cup) outside the cafeteria in the morning from June 3rd through June 8th.  Alex's Foundation Walk-A-Thon forms will be sent home Friday, June 4.th for the event on Community Day.  All sponsors/ donations are greatly appreciated!

3.)  Help Globally- There will be a school supply drive for Seabring Primary School in remote Jamaica running up through Community Day.  Items needed: pencils, erasers, pens, marble composition books, folders and notebooks
