🏆 The Class Challenge & Prizes:

Of course the real prize is learning French - and we know the prospect of an extra prize can be a welcome addition. To reward the hard work of the kids in securing donations, the FASD administration has agreed to a few incentives as encouragement:

🥇 1st Place Class: "YES" Day*
🥈 2nd Place Class: Movie Day
🥉 3rd Place Class: Double Recess
🧸 Class Goal: Pajama Day for all other classes who reach their goal*
🍦 School Goal: Ice Cream Party* for EVERYONE on May 8th during pick-up if we reach our school goal

🎯 Questions from the Kids:

Can we give the money to an animal shelter? No. It goes to the school.
Can we give the money to Verna? No. It goes to the school which funds everything including GT.
Can we give everyone the day off of school to run? No.
Can we run around the zoo? No.
Can we use Orcas on the balloons? ... what balloons?!? Also no.
Can it just be the Running Club? No.
What if everyone wants to skip instead of run? Ok.
What if my water bottle wants to donate money? If your water bottle has money that it would like to donate, we will accept it.
What if I want to fly instead of run? Cool. That’s acceptable.
Did you bring ice cream today? No.
You could run a store. Excellent idea. Maybe we’ll try that next year.
We are having a crawfish boil and a lemonade stand. Sounds delicious. Maybe we’ll try that next year.
What if I want to walk? Great! Also acceptable.
How far are we running? Eleventy billion miles.
Our class is smaller! Yep. Sure is. The 4th graders adjusted the math for aspirational goals to account for class size.
We need more marshmallows. I am not buying more marshmall .... fine. Add To Cart.
Are parents running with us? That seems like unnecessary chaos. Maybe we can just applaud as you run past.

Caveats:

* Yes Day: Yes, there will be strict limits. Yes, robust education will still take place that day. Yes, each teacher is probably secretly hoping the other class wins.

* Class Goal: The class size matters and the 4th graders did the math and adjusted each class goal based on the number of kids per class.
