Parents, Community Members and Staff,
As the Walk-A-Thon is closely approaching, I am still in need of a few items:
6 - Water Coolers (5 gal.) filled with water!!
2 - Buffet sized, folding tables
4 - Apple wedges/corers
If you have any of these items and would be willing to let us borrow them during the event, we'd gladly appreciate it. I also extend the invitation to run, jog or walk with us on Friday, bring a friend! Thank you again for all your support for our school!
Melanie

Growing Healthy Bodies and Minds
Exercise for Education Walkathon
Fri. Oct. 3, 2008, 1:45 pm
On Friday, October 3rd, the 345 students in Grades K-4 at Sisters Elementary School (SES), along with teachers, staff, and parents, will walk, jog, or run laps around the school walking path to help raise funds in support of their school. The proceeds raised from this event will be used to fund classroom enhancements, teacher grants, school equipment and curriculum materials purchases, as well as support educational assemblies like OMSI programs; all of which are not covered under the school district's budget. We anticipate this first SES “Exercise for Education” walkathon to be a huge success! Each student or family has been asked to secure $35 or more in pledges. The goal is for children to be part of the effort to improve their school through fundraising and to encourage them to make healthy lifestyle choices.
This event is sponsored by the Sisters Parent Teacher Community (SPTC), a group of parents, staff, and community members working together to enrich the lives of students and foster a sense of community at SES. Over the years, SPTC has raised funds that have been used to provide many programs and types of essential equipment, including: classroom curriculum materials, Art Literacy and Artist in Residence Programs, PE and playground equipment, special assemblies, sensor faucets in all bathrooms, library furniture and refurbishments, AV equipment, and a sound system.
For more information about the walkathon and SES, contact Jan Silberman, Principal at SES (541-549-8981) or Melanie Petterson, SPTC Steering Committee member (541-549-4499).

Exercise for Education Walkathon, Fri. Oct. 3, 2008, 1:45-2:30 pm
Instead of our traditional fall product sale, SPTC is sponsoring a walkathon to encourage healthy habits and raise money to support funding for classroom materials, special assemblies, and technology needs. We’re asking kids and families to try and raise $35 in sponsorships. A letter and sponsorship form was sent home with your child.
Come walk with your child or volunteer at water and lap stations. Mr. Lamont will be counting laps toward the school’s Run Across America initiative. The class that brings in the most sponsorship money will earn a pizza party and the student that brings in the most sponsorship money will get to be principal for a day.
Contact Melanie Petterson at 549-4499 for more information or to volunteer.
