Come out and root for your favorite players on November 25th in the Big Gym for a student vs. staff basketball game to raise funds for our health and wellness program and our local food pantry. Tickets are $5 each, but feel free to contribute as much as you are able. You can purchase tickets by contributing here online using the contribute button. Just put the name of your student and how many tickets in the message section when you donate. You can also purchase tickets for cash at the door. We will also be selling healthy concessions.
All funds raised will be split between the Jane Doe Elementary Health and Wellness program and the Lake County Food Pantry. Your donations will contribute to the following:
- $300 Refresh our Recess and PE equipment closet
- $200 Pedometers for 4th and 5th grade students
- $500 Donation to Lake County Food Pantry
Here in Michigan, we
believe in fostering both the mental
and
physical health of a child. Simply put, a healthy child has
fewer absences, learns better, and is less likely to develop
weight-related diseases later in life.
Schools play a vital role in the wellness of children.
Students spend almost as many waking hours at school as they do at
home, and consume up to two thirds of their daily calories here.
This means we have an important opportunity – and responsibility –
to teach and reinforce healthy habits.
Please consider donating to strengthen school wellness
programs in our state, and share with your family and friends to
amplify our reach!
How it works:
- 75 cents of every dollar raised goes directly to the school campus, to be spent on wellness at the school's discretion.
- 25 cents goes to support school wellness in underserved communities through SHAPE Michigan -the professional association for health & PE teachers in our state--and CATCH Global Foundation, a 501c3 dedicated to bringing wellness to underserved communities nationwide.
