On Friday, May 14th, 2010 the kids of St. Francis School will participate in a Jog-a-Thon which is included as part of our 5th annual Friar Trot festivities.  100% of the net proceeds will go to help raise the funds to build a gymnasium for our school.  This gym will serve not only our school kids but also the greater Sherwood community.

Pledging activities will begin for all students on Monday, April 5th and conclude on Wednesday May 12th.  Completed pledge forms are due in the school office on Thursday May 13th.  The event takes place on Friday, May 14th.  All funds will be collected after the event and are due back in the school office by Friday May 21st.

There are two ways that family and friends can pledge the student.  They can pledge a per "lap" amount (each lap is 1/4 mile) or they can pledge a flat amount for the event.  Either way is welcome and sincerely appreciated.

All students will participate in this event which will be held during regular school hours, however it will not be open to the public.  Each student will receive a 2010 Friar Trot T-shirt.  Jog-a-Thon pledge packets will be distributed to all school families on April 1st, 2010.  Each will contain a pledge form, prize rules, event description and Q & A information.  Prizes will be awarded for individual achievement in fund raising as well as for class level fund raising.  Suggested individual target goals are outlined on the pledge form to assist in each students fundraising efforts.  If additional pledge forms are needed, they can be downloaded by following the link below.
