Goodall Update 11-3-2016

November 3, 2016
TOMORROW IS THE JOG-A-THON!!!! :)
Here are the running times:
8:30-9:15 Einsteins jog for 30 minutes/count laps, cool down, etc until 9:15 9:15-10:00 Edisons jog for 45 minutes/count laps, etc until 10:15 10:45-11:30 Armstrongs jog for 45/count laps, etc until 11:45
1:00-1:45 Goodalls jog for 45/count laps, etc until 2:00
2:30 Jog-a-thon Celebrations in the gym to celebrate the lap count winners.
This year's theme is "Supporting Our Superheroes!" All funds raised will be used to pay for professional development and supplies for the Mayo teaching staff. If your Goodall has collected pledges or donations, please bring the envelope tomorrow. Students should bring their Jog-a-Thon envelope with any money they have already collected. We will return the envelopes to the students to continue collecting after we take the money out and write the number of laps they ran on the envelope.
We will give awards to the children who run the most laps (boy and girl in each grade level: 1st, 2nd, 3rd) on Friday at the 2:30 Celebrations. After all of the donations come in, we will award grand prizes for the student who brings in the most money, the siblings who bring in the most combined and the homebase (we will use a percentage so that there isn't an advantage to the larger homebases) that brings in the most! Students should wear shoes for jogging! They may wear athletic pants/appropriate running shorts to go with their new t-shirts (which they will get in the morning).
Please leave at home... Halloween and other candy. We have had some rogue candies sneaking into backpacks and hitching rides to school in students’ pockets!! This becomes a classroom distraction and a playground safety issue. Thank you for understanding!!

Book Character Day- Book character day is on Friday, November 11t h . On this day your child needs to dress up as a favorite book character. It MUST be from a book! EARLY NEXT WEEK, we will send home a clue sheet for you and your child to fill out, so keep you character a secret so his/her classmates can guess who they are! Start thinking of clues!!
