The Jog-A-Thon Color Run is soon approaching. We have reached our first goal of $30,000. Way to go Weaver Whales! What an awesome school we have. There has been an added incentive to our $60,000 goal. Please see below.
 
Fundraising Goal
●        If we meet our first fundraising goal of $30,000, Dr. Schmidt will have five minutes to bob for apples at Flag Ceremony, How many apples can he get?!
●        If we reach $45,000, Dr. Schmidt will dress up like a punk rock star for an entire day at school!
●       If we reach our $60,000 goal Dr. Schmidt will dress up like a superhero and ride a tricycle around the Weaver's Halloween Parade AND Dr. Schmidt will read a book to students, while they're being served cookies, in a TENT on the quad!
 
The deadline for pledges has been extended to September 27 th , there’s still plenty of time to register and send emails to family and friends. Remember by sending just 3 names and emails at Pledgestar.com/Weaver gets you a homework-pass.
