Our Annual "Lap A Thon" has Begun!

We are once again excited to kick off our annual Lap A Thon! We find this Lap a Thon always sparks a high level of interest and enthusiasm among our students as we will have lots of great prizes to give away. While our intent is to motivate our students to engage in some extra physical activity, it also provides us with an opportunity to fundraise as well as recognize student participation with a presentation of prizes.

Students are asked to obtain sponsors for running/walking a number of laps around the gym. Our school goal is 550 kilometers, where one kilometer is equal to twenty laps of the gym. Once the Lap a Thon is finished, students collect their money and forward it to their homeroom teacher. Students are reminded to seek sponsorship from family and friends as we do not encourage door to door canvassing.

Our Kick off assembly was held last Friday at which time students received their sponsor sheets and the prize list was announced. We encourage everyone to participate and join in the fun! A special thank you to our school council for supporting this event.


We look forward to a fantastic time!
