Walking Wednesdays
Thanks to much warmer temperatures, we had 229 walkers on Wednesday! Congratulations to Ms. Boykins' class, which received the Golden Shoe Trophy this week.
We will continue to tally the walkers each week to see which class has the highest percentage of walkers and that class will be awarded the Golden Shoe Trophy to display proudly until the next week. After 5 weeks, Ms. Albright's class is still in the overall lead. So get out and walk and/or bike each week!
Please remind your children about the sign-up sheet on the bench in the lobby for the EARLY WALKERS and the 4th and 5th grade band and strings and 5th grade patrol.
Please do continue to walk either from your homes or a designated parking area so that this will be a fair competition. Thanks
Remember to be safe and be seen!
