Walk-a-thon

                         



First Grade Walk-a-thon


On Friday November 9th, at 9:00 am on the Graded track, all first graders will complete as many laps as they can on the track to raise money for Fundacão Dorina Nowill, a foundation that helps the blind by publishing and distributing books in Braille (https://www.fundacaodorina.org.br/), and for Amigos do Sopão (www.amigosdosopao.org), an organization that serves the homeless here in São Paulo.


Before the walk-a-thon begins, students need to get pledges from friends, family members, and/or neighbors who will sponsor them for a certain amount of money per lap. (Ideally, students complete between 5 to 10 laps.) All money raised will go directly to Fundacão Dorina Nowill and Amigos do Sopão. Please support your child in obtaining pledges from family, friends, neighbors, etc. Every first grader will participate even if they are unable to get pledges. Parents are invited to come and cheer us on or walk along with us on November 9th at 9:00 am on the track.


Please let us know if you have any questions. Pledge forms are due on or before the morning of November 9th. Then they will be tallied and returned to the students that day so they can immediately start collecting their pledges. Students will have a week to collect and bring in the money they have earned.


Thank you for your support,

The First Grade Team
