Welcome to Week 2
#alkiathon
We challenge each family to get outside, step away from screens, beat the gloom of the winter weather, and stay committed to keeping ourselves active and connected with each other and the great outdoors.


TOPICS TO DISCUSS:

Topic: Favorite Things
Discuss with your family what are your favorite things about school, break, winter, your street, your home.
Write us and tell us what your favorite thing about break is!

Topic: New Year Hopes
Discuss with your family what you want to see happen in the new year with you, in your home, in school, over the year.

Topic: Favorite Holiday Things
Movies, songs, traditions, memories...

WALK SUGGESTIONS:

Flashlight Walk: Take your walk in the evening with flashlights, hot cocoa and tour holiday lights.

Ugly Sweater/Family Pajama Walk: Take a family selfie and share it with us! facebook/instagram #alkiathon

Tree Count Walk: Count the trees you see in the windows of the homes you walk by. Which one is your favorite? Draw a picture of it to share.
If you have not received your personalized Alki-A-Thon supply bag yet, please know that they are coming! Due to shipping delays (and paint drying time), some Alki-a-thoners will be receiving their bags later this week.

Each personalized bag contains:
  • A hand-painted Alki blue piggy bank
  • A laminated map of Alki to plan and track your family adventures
  • A pledge sheet
  • Tracking calendar
  • Postcards to share with family, friends, and neighbors about this great opportunity and encourage them to do the same
Staying accountable to each other will help keep us engaged and our community connected! Join along in Alki Elementary Seagulls Facebook Group as we share photos, experiences, and more information about weekly challenges. 

Post pictures on social media using the hashtag #alkiathon to encourage others to get outside and walk!
Check your email for the link to your student's very own personal online pledge page to collect donations from family, friends and neighbors near and far!
Don't see it? Reply to this email and we'll fix that!
Thank you for your continued support and dedication as we work through this pandemic together, by strength of community.
