BARBER BULLETIN
Pontiac Elementary Week of April 27-May 1
RELAY FOR LIFE INFORMATION
If you sign up to walk and actually show up to walk, you can wear JEANS FOR A WEEK! YES, you heard it here folks.....Jeans the week of May 11-14!
You do not have to be at the walk the whole time! We will use a sign up form and we can sign up for 30 min slots for walking.
THEY ARE LOOKING FOR SURVIVORS FOR THE SURVIVOR LAP! Do you know someone who is beating their fight with cancer? Have them come walk to celebrate their hope and strength!
Every team is required to have a fundraising event at their tent, so we are going to sell Lemonade. We need help with this too!!! (Doesn't it sound like a great Friday night DATE NIGHT???)
This event is for ANYONE!!!! Kids, Parents, Teachers, Grandparents,etc. Anyone under 18 must have a parent with them. Consider inviting your students to come at a certain time and walk together!
Our team goal is $1000! We can do this, Pontiac!
Luminaries can be purchased on the website under our team. Here is our team website!
If you have any questions, please let Taryn Hixenbaugh know!
