Charged Steps Challenge (Breast Cancer Awareness Fundraiser)
Charged Steps Challenge - Students can challenge grade level and program team leads to compete against each other and raise money while walking. For every dollar you donate to a select grade level or program team lead, a staff member from that group is to walk 100 steps in a day. If a $100 is donated to a grade level/program, then the staff representing that group must walk 10,000 steps. The grade/level program that raises the most funds will celebrate their win together as a group. Give your donations to the staff as follows:
- 6th Grade: Donna Elliot
- 7th Grade: Kareisha Butler
- 8th Grade: Shabreccia Jones
- Montessori: Nakesha Jones/Brian Odom
- Career Magnet: Nazeera Khan/Ronda Steadman
- Related Arts: Reeshemah Kelley
- Other: Stephanie Price
- Classified: Rosalyn Anderson
Pink Squad Celebration Wall
The main office will display a wall of pictures and brief bios of the survivors/fighters in our Tiger Families. If you would like to share pictures and bios for the wall, please email them to Elizabeth Watkins at elizabeth.watkins@richlandone.org. All information is due by October 21, 2022. We will display received information as long as space is available.
