Two Weeks Away From Our Third Jog-a-thon!
Dear Anna Yates Families,
On October 4th we will have our third Jog-a-thon! This is fun opportunity for each grade level to run for 20 minutes in the hopes of running as many laps as possible to earn as much in sponsorships/donations as possible for their classroom.
Here are the details:
- September 20th Jog-a-thon instructions and envelopes went home and the virtual site will open today (September 25th)
- Students will have two weeks to get as many sponsors as possible; sponsors will donate either for each lap ran (and money will be collected after the race) or at a flat rate.
- On Oct 4th students will run as many laps as possible during their grade level designated twenty minute timespan.
- A letter will go home with them that day with the total amount of laps that they completed during the jog-a-ton; this information is needed for anyone who sponsored for each lap ran
- On Oct 11th students will return their envelopes to their classroom teacher where they will be collected; the virtual site will close on October 13th.
- On Oct 31st we will announce students from each grade level that raised the most in donations and ran the most laps!
- Each classroom teacher will be given a classroom total of the amount of funds raised which can go to classroom activities and supplies, classroom fieldtrips, transportation, end of the year activities, etc.
Here are the links to each individual class donation site on Rallyup.com for anyone wanting to make virtual Donations. Please have all donors add the student name in the message when they make the donation.
