This week we've talked about raising community awareness and collecting donations to gift to Dance Marathon (DM) an organization where 100% of proceeds going to cancer patients. This week, your child will take home THIS donation form and attached envelope. We encourage you to use this form to raise awareness and gather donations for this year's charitable organization. The Willowwind students are very excited to collect donations for an organization they are passionate about. Donators were will be recognized with colored stars on display. All donations should be collected in the form's attached envelope and returned to your child's classroom teacher by Friday, January 15th. Please note: while donations to DM are a wonderful gift to give the goal is all about awareness. We have emphasized with the students that no donation is too small and that helping others see the importance of DM is the most important task of all.
Now, the faculty's surprise and GIFT for the students...
To make this event special we are having a surprise dance party to finish our Day of Service! This will be our own mini version of DM's Power Hour, just like at the University of Iowa! Click HERE to check out UI's DM Power Hour in action! Our students know that we will be all dancing together, but they don't know that we are going to make this event special by going to the church gym and replicating a REAL power hour... DJ, glowsticks, and all! (Help us keep this a secret!)
If you are willing to donate some items or your time in helping set up/tear down, please sign up on this sheet!
