"Donation Day"!

 

I had too much fun making these giant gift cards.  

Well, I think I will call today "Donation Day"!  One generous donor delivered a $50 Target Card which will be awarded to the K-4th grader that raises the most donations.  And a $50 Amex Card which will be awarded to the 5-8th grader that raises the most donations.  (As opposed to the Toys R Us and Mall gift card that I mentioned previously.)

The kids are going to enjoy these huge gift card props tomorrow!

I about cried today when I went to pick up Christopher and this box of Wild Bands was waiting for me as a donation from another generous parent.  We'll be giving out individual Wild Bands while the kids are running their laps.

We also have a donation of oranges.  Thanks!

I didn't realize how expensive participant ribbons would be.  About 30 cents each!  I could get plastic medals for that price.   We are still looking into running bibs, too.  If these don't work out, we will make them... or use a grease pen to mark the kids?

I think we will ask everyone to dress in school colors... red, black and white.  This will look great in photos.

My schedule tomorrow is to meet with the teachers in the morning...hang out for chapel announcements and promote the jog-a-thon... and get a sign-up sheet for the day of the jog-a-thon.

Would anyone be willing to make little jog-a-thon reminder sheets that we could put on the doors of the school?


I also need to put something in the Panther, too... so if you are creative with words and would like to create a blurb... let me know!

Thank you to everyone who has let me know that they would like to help on the day of the jog-a-thon.  I think it is going to be a very fun day!

As always, I appreciate your input... comments... generosity... volunteerism!
