Skipathon

Submitted by mcollier on Fri, 06/08/2010 - 13:46

Dear Parents,

This term we are holding a Skipathon for K-6 students. The aim of the Skipathon is to keep John Purchase students fit and healthy and to raise money for the purchase of blinds for each classroom. Throughout this term the children will practise their skipping skills during fitness each week. Children may wish to bring in their own skipping ropes for practise sessions.

The Skipathon will be held on Friday 10th September. (Week 8)

Children will be asked to gain sponsors for each minute they skip (or you may choose to make a donation). All money must be returned to school by Friday 24th September (Week 10) to be eligible for prizes. Students will be awarded one point for each $10 raised and will then be eligible to choose a prize or combination of prizes to match their points.

A permission note and sponsorship form will be sent home this week. We hope that you will support our efforts to increase your child’s fitness while raising money for much needed equipment.

Yours sincerely,

M. Collier

Assistant Principal
