Our Lady of the Greenwood School presents  Color Walk 

on October 11, 2019

WHAT’S THIS ALL ABOUT?  ON FRIDAY OCTOBER 11TH, OUR STUDENTS WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO WALK LAPS AROUND THE SCHOOL FIELD IN AN EFFORT TO HELP RAISE MONEY FOR THIS PROJECT. OUR ULTIMATE GOAL IS TO RUN/WALK A TOTAL OF 10 LAPS AROUND THE SCHOOL FIELD. FOR EACH LAP STUDENTS COMPLETE, THEY WILL BE “DOUSED” FROM HEAD TO TOE IN COLOR POWDER.  THE POWDER IS A NON-TOXIC COLORED POWDER THAT WILL LIKELY WASH OUT OF CLOTHING. 

WE ARE ASKING YOU TO HELP OUR KIDS ASK FOR DONATIONS FROM FRIENDS AND FAMILY TO HELP US REACH OUR GOAL TO BRIDGE THE GAP IN OUR OPERATING BUDGET AND SCHOOL BUILDING IMPROVEMENTS. OUR GOAL IS $20,000. 

PARENTS: If you would like to volunteer the day of the event please sign-up on the sign-up genius here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090e4dabaf23a20-20193

WHAT TO WEAR:  THIS IS AN OUT OF UNIFORM DAY. STUDENTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO EITHER WEAR THE COLOR WALK SHIRT OR A WHITE SHIRT, WITH OUT-OF-UNIFORM SHORTS. GYM SHOES ARE A MUST AS EVERYONE WILL BE RUNNING WALKING, SKIPPING, AND HAVING FUN. WE ALSO RECOMMEND WEARING COLORFUL SUNGLASSES.  

THE COLOR ZONE:  THE COLOR ZONE WILL HAVE TEACHERS WHO WILL THROW NON-TOXIC COLORED POWDER FOR EACH LAP A STUDENT COMPLETES. THE VOLUNTEERS WILL DO THEIR BEST TO THROW THE POWDER AT THE TORSO, BUT WIND AND OTHER FACTORS CAN CAUSE THE POWDER TO GET ON THE FACE. AGAIN WE RECOMMEND BRINGING PROTECTIVE EYE WEAR SUCH AS SUNGLASSES OR OTHER GLASSES. THE COLOR ZONE CAN BE BYPASSED IF A STUDENT DOES NOT WISH TO GO THROUGH IT. 

PLEDGES:  AS IT IS A FUNDRAISER, WE ASK FAMILIES TO COLLECT PLEDGES TO BENEFIT OLG SCHOOL! PLEASE SELECT THE HOMEROOM(S) TO WHICH YOU WOULD LIKE YOUR DONATION CREDITED. THIS LINK IS EASY TO SHARE WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND WILL MAKE IT EASY TO TRACK THE TOTAL DONATIONS MADE TO OUR SCHOOL IN SUPPORT OF THE COLOR WALK. 

TOP FUNDRAISER PRIZES INCLUDE: 

- TOP FUNDRAISER = HONORARY LAP WITH Mr. Jester IN THE GOLF CART 

- TOP HOMEROOM CLASS = ICE CREAM PARTY! 

- TOP LAPPER from each grade = food truck lunch in november (the next time we have a food truck @ school)

Prizes will also be given during the Color Walk. 

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOU DO TO SUPPORT OUR SCHOOL! 

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, THANK YOU FOR HELPING US MAKE OUR WALK WITH JESUS A COLORFUL ONE!
