RACE FOR EDUCATION IS HERE!!!!
Friday, October 11, 2013
Race Times:
Preschool-  9:50-10:10
K-3rd-  10:30-11:30
4th-8th-  12:15-1:15cartoon-sneakers.jpg

We are so thankful for this event to be able to raise money to support our school programs!  Our kids are ready to run and take part in this annual event!  We continue to pray for good weather!  Rain you say - well we are just praying it away for our day tomorrow!  So far we have never had a rain date and pray this is no exception!  The race will be ON unless it begins to monsoon today and continues to rain into Friday.  So plan on it being RACE DAY!  (should a need arise due to weather - we would not call it off until Friday a.m.) 
  
So based on watching the forecast - older sneakers would be best (and bring a change of dry shoes/socks/etc).  Kids can wear comfortable/modest running attire.  If layers are worn, please be sure your child's name is written on each layer in case they take it off so we can return it back to them (this will also help to keep our lost/found pile smaller)!  If your child needs special inhalers for this type of event, please be sure they bring it to the office!  For those of you signed up to help, please be sure to check in with Joyce Brown on Friday morning for your assigned helping location and complete your service hour slip before you leave that day!
  
In order to be included as a helper and earn service hours -please be sure that you have gone and signed up via:  www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0C4CA5AD28A2FD0-race

BOXTOPS FOR EDUCATION CONTEST

 

Please print the attached collection sheet
(link->) Box Top Collection Sheet to be part of the contest to win a class ice cream party!  The submission deadline is November 1, so please send all boxtops to school on the sheets by October 24. If you already have boxtops on other collection sheets, that is great, just put your grade on the sheet and they will still count toward the contest.  Loose boxtops or boxtops in bags will not count, please tape or glue them on sheets.  

 

If any parents want to help sort and group loose boxtops please contact Kim Brown 215 657-720 or [email protected].  The time you spend on this project will count as service hours.
