Walk-a-thon T-Shirt Contest
Cherry Chase students are invited to create a design that illustrates this year’s Walk-A-Thon & Auction theme, “Going Far Together”.
Deadline for entries is January 20.
Give your drawing (black ink on white paper) to your teacher or drop it off at the school office. See attached flyer for rules.
Vote on Walk-a-thon T-shirt Design
Join the Walk-a-thon team in selecting the winning t-shirt design.
Join us on Monday, 1/26, 7:30pm at this link. We will be voting on the top t-shirt designs and will share the variety of open positions to prepare for the event (ranging from ordering supplies to managing the day-of-event staff to helping us think through the logistics; we’ll ask for day-of-event staff later). Most roles are a few hours of preparation. We look forward to seeing you there!
Join Cherry Chase GOTR
(Girls On The Run) Team
Girls on the Run (GOTR) is a social-emotional program for girls in 3rd-5th grade that creatively uses a fun curriculum and physical activity to teach critical life skills, such as developing healthy friendships, managing emotions, standing up for yourself and others, and how to set goals and make intentional decisions.
Coaches will lead small groups of girls through discussions and fun games and workouts to promote empowerment and healthy lifestyle choices, all while training them to run/walk a 5K (3.1 miles). The 8-week season starts the week of March 14 and ends with the celebratory Girls on the Run 5K on May 21. The classes are on Mondays and Wednesdays at Cherry Chase from 2:30pm to 4pm. The cost is $230 per girl and financial assistance is available to all families during the registration process. Go to www.gotrsv.org for more information and to register your girl (starting on December 18 at 8:00 am)! Contact Coach Mona at mohanask@hotmail.com for questions about the team at Cherry Chase Elementary.
