Archangel Gabriel School's 1 st Knight-A-Thon Fundraiser
The Knight-A-Thon fundraiser is a letter writing campaign sent from the students to their potential sponsor list asking for a monetary donation to sponsor your child/children during a dance-a-thon. Potential sponsors are family, friends, neighbors or business associates who will receive a letter from your child. The money raised will be used to purchase educational resources, with 70% of your child's received donations applied to your family's fundraising goal. This fundraiser (formerly Race for Education and Tigerthon) raised over $35,000 last year!
In addition to the Dance-a-thon, held in April, students will earn fun rewards simply by providing potential sponsor names and addresses:
10 potential sponsors - Pajama and Hot Coco Day. Students may wear their paj-a m as to school on January 6t h and enjoy hot coco in the cafeteria with their friends as they return to school after the Christmas break.
15 potential sponsors - Dress Down Week. Students may dress down (dress up day on mass day) the week of the dance-a-thon in March. Exact date of dance-a-thon will be communicated when confirmed.
20 potential sponsors -Activity Day with Coach Dave. Students will participate in a half hour of fun activities facilitated with a fun twist by Coach Dave, such as kickball, volleyball, basketball, and soccer. Activity Day will take place in the gym in January, the exact date will be communicated when confirmed.
Top two classrooms with the most potential sponsors = Extended Activity Day time with Coach Dave. These classrooms will participate in an entire class period of fun activities facilitated with a fun twist by Coach Dave. Activity Day will take place in the gym in January, the exact date will be communicated when confirmed.
Completed Sponsor Forms are due to the school office by December 13th. Families with multiple children may choose to duplicate potential sponsors on all their children's potential sponsor lists. Unfortunately, we were unable to access the sponsor lists from the former Race for Education fundraiser - please contact Kristy or Char below if you need an extension to the December 13t h deadline to complete the potential sponsor list.
Students will write letters in late January and they will be mailed in February. The dance-a-thon will take place in April.
Please consider donating a book of stamps to help reduce the postage expense.
