First Grade Walk-A-Thon

All of the first graders will be participating in the annual First Grade Walk-a-thon. Each first grade house will walk ten times around the block over the course of several weeks. To kick off the walk, this Friday all of the first grade classes will walk once around the block together.

Some of the money we raise through this walkathon will help support the Dalton Ujima Project. This is a K-12 initiative that helps send students in Kenya to school.

The rest of the funds collected will be divided evenly among the five first grade houses. Each House will donate the funds to one or more charities researched and chosen by the students. This enables the children to be directly involved in thinking about local, national and global concerns and how best to address them.
