Ben Rush PTA E-Newsflash 
 
   
WALK-A-THON STARTS
 ON MONDAY
 
WHEN:
Monday, May 3rd - Thursday, May 6th
 
WHY:
Raise $17,000 to fund the PTA budget and install a world map in the play yard.
 
YOU:
Encourage your kids to start collecting pledges this week.
  • We don't want kids going door to door alone, please make this a safe outing for our kids!
  • Neighbors, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, co-workers, etc all make great donors!
  • Our goal is only $42 per child.  If each child reaches our 50 lap goal (and with last year as evidence, most will) and a .25 suggested donation per lap, each child only needs to get donations from three and a half people to reach our goal!
  • Remember to give each donor a receipt for their donation, it is tax deductable!
 
We need volunteers for all PE class times during Walk-a-thon week, especially May 6th in the following times:
 
9:45-11:15 AM - Kindergarten parents
12:45-3:00 PM - 1st-6th grade parents
5:00-5:30 PM - Set-up volunteers
4:45-6:15 PM - Evening walk volunteers
 
Please contact Tamara Abrams to volunteer at tabrams@gmail.com
 
Family Walk, BBQ and Silent Auction:
 
Please mark your calendars for the family walk from 5:30-6:30 PM and the hosted BBQ from 6:30 - 8:00 PM on Thursday, May 6th sponsored by The Debra Sinick Group Windermere RE.
  
At the BBQ, we will have a silent auction for the two reserved parking spaces in the school parking lot.
 
DON'T MISS OUT ON ALL THE FUN!!
