One of our major fundraisers of the year is the annual Jog-A-Thon which will be held on Friday, November 16, 2007. This year’s fundraising efforts will again be dedicated to the upgrading of our electrical wiring and the installation of air conditioning throughout our buildings. This is a huge project and we need your help!
Enclosed in this week’s Home Messenger are forms for business sponsors. We ask you to consider becoming a sponsor for this year’s event, or to pass the information on to your business contacts. Also included is the Donor Form for each child. Donor Forms are due back to the school office by November 7. If you have made arrangements to pay the $150 per student for the Jog-A-Thon through FACTS, please mark the space provided and return the form.
We are also in the process of selecting a theme for this year’s event. We have asked students in grades 5-8 to submit their thoughts for a theme, keeping the electrical project in mind. The deadline to submit a theme is this Friday, October 12. Once the theme has been selected, we will begin the logo design contest. The theme and logo will be printed on the Jog-A-Thon t-shirts.
The Student Council has done a remarkable job organizing and planning events for the coming year. I am impressed with their ideas, especially their commitment to the environment and to serving others. Please see the enclosed flyer about the Halloween project for the students at St. Columbkille, an inner city school always appreciative of our support.
May you be blessed in many ways!
