April 27th -- This is the last weekend to collect pledges! Keep Collecting pledges through May 3rd!!!
The annual Move-a-thon has quickly become a much-loved tradition -- and is our PTO's biggest fundraiser. Last year, the Move-a-thon raised a whopping $13,000 for our school! This energetic one-day event has students “move it”—run, walk, skip—for as many laps as they can in a specific time period. Each student collects pledges for the number of laps they complete, or a fixed donation amount for completing the event. Each year the Move-a-thon has a new theme, and inspires students and staff to "Move it - Move it!" once again.

VOLUNTEER JOB DESCRIPTIONS
Lap Counter
The outer track volunteers will be counting laps and the inner track volunteers will be supervising the activities area and helping make the switch of tracks.
Lap Counter volunteers will be assigned to a specific color of balloons on either the inner or outer track. The color next to your name on the volunteer list indicates your assigned balloons. The students from each class will be divided into groups based on color and assigned to a track. The student’s you will be responsible for will be wearing a lap sheet pinned to the backs of their shirts. The color of your assigned students’ lap sheets will correspond to the color of balloon bouquet you will be assigned to. These ‘movers’ will begin the event after their warm-up time with Mrs. L at your station (set of balloons).
The inner track will be the activities area, you are responsible for keeping the children in the inner track area. You will help to signal the move of the “movers” to their balloons when they switch places. There is a 5 minute allotment to make this change.
Please make sure to split up the students with the fellow volunteers at your station and assign them a parent volunteer so that each student will know who is checking off their lap sheet.
If you would like to count laps for your child then please go ahead and trade with another lap counter.
Each time your assigned students pass your station, you will use a marker to mark off the correct number of laps on their lap sheet. Refer to the attached map of the track to see where you are stationed.
