Run for the Arts

Run for the Arts paperwork was sent home today. Check your child's backpack for the sponsor page. Please return the paperwork to me no later than Monday, March 28th, and then I will forward it to Coach after I have finalized any class sponsors.

Here is the letter that was with the sponsor page.

Dear Kindergarten Families,

On April 1st, Hayhurst children are going to participate in a fundraising fun-run called “Run for the Arts”. This run is held every year (all over the country) to raise funds for bringing creative art, music, and dance programs to our school.

We certainly want to raise as much money as possible and we would also like to see every child’s efforts recognized. Attached is the sponsor sheet for Run for the Arts. You will notice that I have already donated $21.00 to sponsor each of the children in our class. That gives them 1 sponsor.

As we will be jogging a minimum of 6 laps, if your child finds 11 more sponsors (parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends, neighbors, siblings, pets, etc.) willing to sponsor for $1.00 each, they will be rewarded with a Run for the Arts T-shirt AND will realize that their sponsors and their running efforts benefit everyone at Hayhurst. Of course, you may raise more than this minimum, this is just the point at which your child will earn a T-shirt.

We realize that some of our families are experiencing serious financial hardships and still want these children to feel supported and included. If any of you are able and would like to be a Kindergarten Run For The Arts Sponsor for $21.00, please let me know and each child in our room will gain one more sponsor. You can write a check for this generous donation to “Run For The Arts”.

We would like to see every kindergartner with a beautiful new Run For The Arts T-Shirt that they can proudly wear to symbolize their contributions to the Arts.

Thanks!

Ms. Williams

P.S. Please return your completed forms to me no later than Monday, March 28th, and I will forward them to Coach. This allows for me to add any additional sponsors we received as a class.
