What:

"The Fitness Fest", is our annual fundraiser that supports Friends of Ivanhoe.  One of the programs FOI raises funds for is Physical Education at Ivanhoe, so our teachers can spend time together planning their classroom lessons.  If every child raises $100 we can reach our goal of $20,000.   Ask family or friends for either $1 per lap (or event) or a flat donation (which is easier). 


When:

Tuesday May 25th -   3rd, 4th and 5th Graders

Wednesday, May 26th - Kindergarteners, 1st and 2nd Graders

Time:
8:10 am until recess at 10:10 am on the lower yard

 

How:
The younger students (K-2) will complete up to 10 stations and the older students

(Grades 3-5) will run laps.  We are also hoping to have a new event for the older kids, the Big Jump Rope Challenge, we think they will love it!

Committee:

We need at least 5 parents to help run this event.  We will have our first meeting during the first week of March (immediately after drop-off in the teacher’s lounge).  Please email Beth Martel at beth.martel@yahoo.com if you can help with the committee.
 

 

As a committee we need to coordinate the following:

  • Printing of donation envelope

  • Obtaining water for participants on the day of the event

  • Obtaining biodegradable cups (and trash bins) for the day of the event

  • Obtaining popsicles for participants for after the event

  • Coordinating events with the PE Coach

  • Obtaining any equipment needed for the events

  • Obtaining student lists (by class) for the day of the event (mark off number of laps/events completed)

  • Designing Parent/Teacher Event (last year we did a water balloon toss at the end of the event)

 

Donation Envelopes will be distributed on Monday, May 3rd All collected donations are due back to the office by Friday, June 4th.
