The Boosterthon is Coming!!!
Shine Sprint
This year’s main fundraiser is the Luce Shine Sprint! It’s a two-week program that kicks off with a Pep Rally on October 28th. Families will then gather pledges for every lap your student runs (30-35 laps) at the Shine Sprint, which will happen on November 8th. This year our goal is to raise $18,000 for in-school programming, field trips, and we need your help! We’ve asked the experts at Booster to power our fundraiser to make it easier, more profitable, and more fun.
Students will also experience an amazing character theme, MINDSPARK: WILD WEST!
Booster’s most exciting theme yet combines S.T.E.A.M. skills (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) with character-building. While they're teaming up with the MindSpark Kids to save Dr. Shock, our students will learn five character traits that will help strengthen themselves and our world.
Donations will go towards teacher funds and the entire two-week experience. So please help our school by getting pledges from family and friends and entering them on FUNRUN.COM.
Thanks so much for your support!
Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math (STEAM) Week 10/21-10/25
What does this mean for the Luce School?
All grades from K-5 will engage in a week-long schedule of activities related to STEAM. Students will engage in the design process by creating a solution to a problem, learning about careers in STEAM, researching those careers, and engaging with field experts in STEAM.
What is our theme?
Our theme for STEAM week is "Careers in STEAM".
How can you be involved?
If you are a member of the community and have a career in STEAM, please reach out to me at lamoury@cantonma.org. We are in need of volunteers who would like to be interviewed by students via a Google Hangout platform.
Again, please email me for more details by Tuesday, October 15th.
