Yesterday was an amazing success. I can't wait to tell you more about it... but I've been busy typing in the donations received.
We have begun to receive donations from the pledges for the jog-a-thon. With 38 students participating so far, our total received is $3,086. That's over $80 per child. How exciting!
A couple thoughts...
1. Mr. Boeder is willing to do something "embarrassing" or "extreme" if we reach our $11,000 goal. He wants suggestions. One thought was to have him serve lunch to all the kids. Wouldn't they love that?! Let me know your ideas and we'll present them to him. This will help us to promote closing the gap between our goal.
2. We'll be having a celebration assembly on Wednesday, October 27th from 2:25-2:55. There will be a 5 minute slideshow with music. We will hand out the grand prizes. We will give teachers the gifts (water bottles) for each student who gave a pledge of any amount.
3. A sign will be put up in the atrium showing how far we have to get to our goal.
4. A form will go out to the teachers to find out their input in regards to the jog-a-thon.
If you have any ideas on how to motivate the kids to bring in their completed pledge envelopes, let me know!
