There are a whole host of activities going on at Mann Elementary this week. I encourage everyone to take part! One way to show your support for this event is to wear a specific color each day. Here is our schedule...
Monday: Students (and staff!) wear RED for transportation safety. This day the children will also be asked to sign a pledge to walk or ride to school. These pledges will be collected for a chance for a child to win a "Walk and Roll" t-shirt! :)
Tuesday: Students wear BLUE for water conservation.
Wednesday: Students wear GREEN for reducing waste in landfills.
Thursday: Students wear YELLOW for energy conservation. We took a tally of who walked, rode bikes and scooters, or got a ride in a car to school last week. This day we will take a tally again to see who walked or rode bikes to school instead of riding in a car. The classroom with the biggest percentage increase will win a popcorn party! Woohoo!
Friday: Students wear their favorite sports team attire! Children with Cubs gear will not be permitted entry into my classroom. Heehee, just kidding! :)
As an added incentive this year, parents are invited to sign up online for the Walk to School
Challenge on www.facebook.com/greenworks (click right here on this link) and log their families' walking or bicycling trips on behalf of our school.
The five schools with the highest levels of participation will be eligible to win a $5,000 grant. Frequent walkers and bicyclists can also earn individual prizes, ranging from green shoelaces to reusable water bottles.
Green Works® by Clorox has partnered with the Sierra Club to
sponsor this exciting challenge.
