Walk-a-Thon Label Contest!
Your child should have brought home information (and labels) for our only fundraiser for the school... Walk-a-Thon! We hope you are able to fill out a few, if not all ten address labels, to help support our fundraising efforts. Your child gets a prize (a candy bar) if they fill out all 10 labels. Labels are due Wednesday, September 25.
Funds from the Walk-a-Thon assist with the following:
Transportation for class field trips; School assemblies; Playground equipment; Building technology (smart boards for every classroom, iPads, a new sound system for the gymnasium, digital cameras, etc.). The money raised makes the PTO events and activities possible and free to attendees. These include: Moms & Muffins, Dads & Donuts, Grandparents & Goodies, Mother/Son & Daddy/Daughter events, Santa Shop, Walk to School Day, Fun Run, ice cream socials and more!
Our goal for this year is to raise $15,000. 100% of the funds stay with East Hanover Elementary, supporting the students and their education. And if we reach this goal, our students can vote on a staff member to pie in the face!!
For answers to FAQs and more information, please click here visit our Walk-a-Thon website. If you have a question not answered here or would like to volunteer the day of the walk, please contact Leah Krull or Tess Boyd.
