Glow-a-thon

When I turned the calendar, it's Glow-a-thon time!!!  Thursday, May 8th is the annual PTO Glow-a-thon.  This is a big fundraiser for the PTO.  Also, it is a lot of fun for all and a very healthy way to spend some time in our school day.  There are a few things you need to be aware of:

• Yes, your child may wear sweatpants/windpants to school on this day.  Also, please make sure your child has appropriate shoes (lace-up/Velcro tennis shoes).
• Our scheduled lap time is from 12:50-1:20 p.m. (our PE time).  
• Please volunteer to help (need to be here about 12:30 p.m.).  Come out and join the fun or help the PTO with lap counting.
