Dear
Crestwood Families,
Please
find the pledge form for our upcoming fundraiser, Blaze the Trail below for
downloading. Last year Blaze the Trail raised almost
$10,000 for our school. We have set a
goal of raising $12,000 this year. $8,000 of which will fund the building of an
outside classroom. We hope to have this
open to our students next fall. Every pledge counts towards making this event a
success.
Below
is an outline of the important dates for the event as well as a description of
incentive prizes we are offering to encourage participation. We would like to receive a pledge form back
from every child. Whether you pledge $1 or $500 every student
will receive an event t-shirt for free this year!
The
event will be held on October 18th.
Students will walk/run the new fitness trail during the related arts
portion of their school day. We will
have a DJ outside to jazz up the walk for our kids and Captain, our school
mascot, will also be on hand to offer encouragement. You are welcome to join in the fun by walking
with your child’s class or cheering them on from the finish line.
