2007 Walk-A-Thon
Please
take time to read all of the following information, whether you
are new to MCS or you have been involved for years. Walkathon
2007 is rapidly approaching! The Walkathon is our major fund
raiser at MCS bringing in $24,000 last year. We ask that
everyone get involved in some way, because the Walkathon is
extremely important to the operation of MCS. The current
tuition does not come close to supporting the total operation of
our school.
Funds raised through
the Walkathon get used for a multitude of things, but here is a
sampling of where proceeds have gone:
- Upgrading
curriculum
- Achievement
testing materials
- Equipment
purchases
- Maintenance of
building & equipment
- Reading Reward
Program
- Science equipment
and lab materials
- Supplies-paper,
tape, chalk, ink cartridges, markers, lamination, first aid,
etc.
- Academic awards
- National Honor
Society
- Homecoming
- Graduation and
chapel expenses
- Postage
- Supplement Sports
Program
- Copier expenses
In addition to this,
we are very excited to inform you that the bulk of the 2007
money will go toward a new gym floor.
Each year the
Massillon Baptist Temple puts a large sum of money into the
operation of the school, and we thank the church for its strong
commitment to this ministry.
If it is at all
possible, we need every family to participate in one of the two
following ways:
-
Perhaps you can
help get sponsors for you children, so they can walk in the
Walkathon on Saturday, September 29; or
-
Maybe your
children cannot walk in the Walkathon, so you would simply
like to give a donation of any amount possible for you.
In addition to one of
the two areas just mentioned, perhaps you can help with the
mountainous task of making the Walkathon work. If you would
be willing to help with getting Walkathon 2007 off the ground,
please call Mrs. Rebecca Hartline at 330-833-1039, during the
first few weeks of August. Many hands make light work.
Come join us for Walkathon 2007!
Thank You,
Mrs. Rebecca Hartline
***Please mark on your
calendar to ask your children for Walkathon packets at the end
of the first week of school. The packet explains the Walkathon
in detail and shows you how to get sponsors and earn rewards for
your participation. Also mark on your calendar the date of the
Walkathon—Saturday, September 29, 9:00 a.m. at the Massillon
Christian School.
