1st Annual Walk-A-Thon
Central Elementary had their 1st Annual Walk-A-Thon this year. This will be the school's big fund-raiser for the year. We thought this was a great way to raise money while promoting a healthy life-style.
We would like to thank all of the students and parents that participated in the walk-a-thon as well as for the great turn-out at our Family Walk-Off Day on Sunday, October 11th.
We would also like to thank the following businesses for their contributions to our event: Heart-N-Hand (5-Webkinz); Family Video (gift card); Meijers ($100 donation); Sara Lee (hot dogs); Best Buy (2-$25 gift cards); McDonalds (drink mix); Clippers (Gund Kids Magnet Puppies); and Craig's Cruisers (activity cards).
