5th Annual Lennox High School FCCLA Walk-a-thon

 Dear Students and Parents and Staff,

              The Lennox FCCLA organization would like to invite you to the fifth annual Orioles Homecoming Walk-a-thon!  This event will help FCCLA members raise money for the FCCLA program. This partnership benefits our FCCLA chapter in their quest to support our local community. This activity promotes school involvement as well as reinforcing the importance of exercise and activity. This challenge is an extension of our effort to promote lifetime fitness and health in our students and community.

 I am going to attempt to answer a few questions you may have about this fundraiser in the information to follow.

  • What is a Walk-a-thon?
  • How do we motivate the students??
  •  Why a Walk- a-thon?
  • Extras

Students collect money from sponsors (friends and family members) who would like to donate money toward a great cause – health and education. We will collect money from Monday Sept. 13th (collection envelopes will come home this day) through our Wednesday Walk-a-Thon, Wednesday Sept 22th.  Please return to your SRB teacher).

On the day of the walk- a – thon (Wednesday September 22th) if the entire SRB donated the SRB teacher can also participate in the walk-a-thon and wear athletic clothes that day!!! Whoever decided not to donate will stay in SRB. SRB will be from 8:15-9:40 am. The Walk-a-Thon will last from 8:30-9:30. First block will start at 9:40. The students and staff participating are given 60 minutes to walk as many laps as possible around the track.  The SRB that collects the most money will receive a doughnut party during the following SRB compliments of Lennox FCCLA.

Parents, friends and relatives are invited to come and walk with the students on the day of the Walk-a-thon.

Music will be played over the loud speaker.

Motivational Posters will be displayed around the track!

The students get to go outside for 60 minutes!

*     Easier for parents/school – no delivery and products to sort through

              *     No catalogs to explain to people over the phone

              *     Promotes health throughout the school and community

              *     The program does not have to split money with another company – all profit

              *      Supports school spirit during homecoming week!

If it rains we walk inside!  

MONEY IS DUE: Please turn in to your SRB teacher by Wednesday, September 22th
