Supporting the Walk-a-thon! Thursday the 10th.

This Thursday (NOV 10th) is shaping up to be a glorious day for the Walk-a-thon.

The schedule will go as follows:
8:30 - 9:30     5th/6th graders
9:30 - 10:10      4th    graders
10:40 - 11:40  K-1st graders
12:30 - 1:00      3rd   graders
1:00 - 2:00        2nd  graders

To keep the kids energized we need each class to provide:
ONE BAG OF CUT UP ORANGES
1 or 2 PARENTS

This should be an exciting day for our kids and they should 'walk' away from this with a great sense of pride in their school and their community.
They will need our support and encouragement!
Contact your room parent and teacher for the details.

As always you can send any questions to:
friendsofgardnerville@yahoo.com
or your room parent!

Very good news - it sounds like our wonderful principal will be dining with quite a few student prize winners!
Go, Go, Gardner!
