The Trike-a-Thon
Fundraiser for the children at St. Jude’s Hospital
for the
West Wingers is Monday, April 15th from 3:00 to 3:30ish.
Monday children should arrive at the regular time. Please note that The East Wingers will be doing their ride at 9:30 so it will be a busy morning. The West Wingers will ride at 3:00 so plan to join us then. If you are not a Monday child, arrive by 2:30 so your child can join us for circle. Enter the school on Venice and bring your child’s “wheels” and helmets with you. Be sure to put their name on both. We will have signs posted with their flower group so they will know where to park them until we leave. After they park, they will enter their classrooms and have circletime as usual.
We will be leaving the front gate on Venice at 3:00 to go down May St. and then back up May St. and so if you want to join us, meet us outside. By the time we reenter the front gate of the school, it will be around 3:30 or so. If you can plan your day to take your child home after the ride, that would be great. If not, say goodbye to your child at the gate and take their “wheels” with you. Children who do not usually attend on Mondays will say goodbye at the gate, as well.
We still need parents to sign up to monitor a corner to support street crossing and safety. This means that it will be your responsibility to stay at your position and help the whole group move along safely. Your child will be able to say “hi” to you as we continue on our route. Without enough help, we won’t be able to do this. Nannies can be a part of helping, too.
E-mail us back if you can help and we’ll sign you up or check out the sign up sheet on the main door in the hallway.
This is always a fun event and as with anything different, it can bring a lot of excitement. Our goal is to maintain a peaceful environment and with your help, it will be fantastic! Remember, if your child does not want to ride, they can walk with us. No one is left at school.
We will be collecting donations for the St. Jude’s Hospital and children with cancer until May 15th.
