Rock the Walk-A- Thon

Currently our class is in the lead for the GRAND PRIZE of a limo ride to Pizza Ranch!!!  Keep those donations coming in.  It would be such a wonderful 5th grade experience if our class could experience this fun prize together.

Remember that our Walkathon will be on Thursday, Sept. 25. This is fundraiser put on by our PTC, and the money raised allows them to support learners and teachers at Georgetown in so many awesome ways. Donation sheets and envelopes were sent home with students last week. Fifth grade classes will be walking at 10:35 AM, and we will walk for about 30 minutes. It looks like we will have a beautiful day to walk.
