The Walk-a-Thon was an amazing success! The students loved it. We gave them whistles and noisemakers and played fun music while they walked. Melissa Kohlmeister lead cheers and we had a great party! Several students and teachers even asked if we could have a walk-a-thon every week :)
We counted the donations turned in so far and were overwhelmed by the amazing generosity of our Buri families and friends. We thank you for supporting our students! Close to 40% of students so far have participated in fundraising. That is amazing! We hope to do just a little better. We are a few thousand dollars away from meeting our goal to be able to bring Playworks to our school.
We are still accepting donations through this Friday March 4 so there is still time to participate! If you lost your envelope you can print a donation form HERE and turn it in at the office or to your child's teacher.

- Much more!
