Steps for Students
https://www.givegab.com/event_registrations/new?campaign_id=24295
Father Clint will be leading a training session for all those who have registered for Steps for Students this Saturday 1/13/18 at 9:00 am. Everyone will meet in Kukral Hall and are asked to bring water, towel and a yoga mat if you have one. All skill levels are welcome!
Each homeroom will compete against each other for the most money raised. The competition will start this Monday. Remember to raise money, first register, and then ask for sponsors (grandparents, work, friends, family) to donate to your page. Our school gets 100% of all donations and only $2 of your registration fee is donated to the Catholic Schools Office. So Fatima gets almost everything and we use that money for field trips, extra curricular activities, etc. We need your support!
In addition to each homeroom competing, any scholar who is registered by NOON on 1/31 will be eligible for our 2nd Annual SOCK HOP and get a root beer float! Also if 100% of the school registers, we will have a school wide movie and popcorn day before we dismiss for spring break!
Our school wide goal is $5,000! I know we can do it!
