Boosterthon

In October, OES participated in our first ever Boosterthon fundraiser. The students received pledges to run approximately 35 laps on a designated Fun Run Day. Our class received the most pledges in the entire school, which totaled about $2400! They earned a homework pass, extra recess, lunch outside, a popsicle party, crazy hair day, and a pajama day. I am so proud of their hard work and our class will receive 10% of the pledge money. Way to go Mrs. Wise's Wildcats! :)

Reagan's and Brandon's and Thoughts:
For the Boosterthon Fun Run we had team huddles. At team huddles we got to see how much money or pledges we had so we could mark it off on the pledge o'meter. We raised over $2,400! To get pledges, we had to get students to ask people they know to get money. You could do a flat donation or a lap donation. A flat donation is when you give them like $10 even if they run 35 laps. A lap donation is when you say you will give them $1 for each lap you run. So like if I ran 35 laps you have to pay $35. At the fun run we ran lots and lots and lots of laps.

We had an awesome time and can't wait to see how this money helps our school!
