🎈Get ready for TOMORROW as we ‘take off’ on Louie’s High Flying Adventure! 🪂

⛺️Friday Night Set Up: Pop Up Canopies

The Walkathon (WAT) Leads and Set-Up Crew will be hard at work after school today preparing for tomorrow’s big event. It’s a big task, and we kindly ask children and families to stay clear of the main playground, blacktop, and field after school today to give the team the space they need to work efficiently. The field will reopen at 6:00 PM tonight for families who wish to set up their pop-up canopies. Canopies may also be set up tomorrow morning.

Please note: You may see our WAT Leads and BESCA Board setting up designated canopies earlier than this time, but in fairness to everyone, we ask that all other families wait until 6:00 PM to access the field. Tents set up before 6:00 PM may be removed. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!

📝Permission Slips
Students must bring a signed permission slip to the registration desk starting at 8:15am to exchange for their lap cards. 

👕 Walkathon Shirts
Student Walkathon shirts as well as any preordered shirts were delivered to classrooms yesterday. If you did not receive your shirt, you can pick it up at the Merchandise Marketplace tomorrow.

If your student's shirt does not fit, you may exchange it in new, unwashed condition at the T-shirt swap station today by room 24, from 2:00-3:00pm.  You can also exchange the shirt at the Walkathon from 8:00am-9:30am at the booth located next to the Merchandise Marketplace. 

Sponsors can pick up their Walkathon shirts at the t-shirt swap station today at the Merchandise Marketplace on Saturday.   

🙏 Adult Volunteers Still Needed
A huge thank you to all who have already signed up to volunteer! If you have not signed up for a role yet, we still need you! We are in specific need for Course Spotters who will walk along the course and serve as another set of eyes to ensure the safety and integrity of our walkers. Course Spotters will wear a yellow vest and keep an eye on the field with special attention to the back of the course where our mileage punchers and decorated tunnel are located.  Please click here to view and sign up for a shift.

Now’s the time to collect final pledges—our goal is $300 per child and $300,000 school-wide.
