Boosterthon

Dear Parents,

Boosterthon has begun!!!  The students got to attend the pep rally in the gym today and boy, were they excited!

This is a fabulous fundraiser for Kemp...52% of what we collect comes directly to us to help us pay for a Specialist (Spanish teacher) and our crossing guard!

The FUN RUN will take place on Thursday, May 3rd,  on the back field (weather permitting)...

• 4th and 5th grade will run at 8
• 2nd and 3rd will run at 9:30
• K and 1 will run at 12:00

Parents and family are welcome to attend to cheer your little one as he or she runs laps!  

The students brought home information in their folders today, so please take a look if you get a chance!  

Our team name will be "Kazanjian's Kangaroos"!  

One of the best benefits of participating in the fundraiser is the emphasis placed on improving student's self confidence... please click on the picture to visit their blog and/or read below for a description of this year's theme:

This fun, island-inspired theme is all about TEAMWORK.  We are all on teams—a sports team, a family, or a class. We feel that it is vitally important for students to grow character by being excellent team members. We want to specifically focus on growing teams inside the classroom.

The word "EPIC" is an acronym with each letter representing an Adventure Action.  

Students will learn four specific ways to be a great teammate:

E- Encourage – Team members build each other up with their words and never tear anyone down.

P- Play – It’s important for teams to exercise and play together outside, building friendships on the playground and in the neighborhood.

I- Invite –Sometimes people may be outsiders or feel excluded from the group. Great teams see others on the sidelines and invite them into the group.

C- Celebrate – Celebrating other’s victories is so important. Team members are not jealous of other’s successes; they celebrate with them and should applaud everyone’s accomplishments.

Thank you for your participation in this awesome fundraiser and please let me know if you have any questions!!!

Sincerely,
