Dance-A-Thon

Dear families,

Dewson will be having it's annual dance-A-thon on Friday, April 25th. If dance-A-thon is new to you, it's a fun event where all classes get some time, with their age group, to dance up a storm with DJ Professor Jamz in the gym. Students love it, and it's one of the school's biggest fundraisers.

Tomorrow, students will be receiving their dance-a-thon pledge sheets and bags. All the instructions are on the pledge sheet. Here are the important points:
1. Dancers ask family and friends to sponsor them (no door-to-door).
2. Write down the amount of all pledges on pledge sheet. Payment can be cash, cheque or credit online.
3. Online pledges can be made at www.professorjamz.com, so you can ask far away relatives to be sponsors as well. Be sure to note the amount of online pledges on the pledge sheet.
4. Be sure to sign the back of the pledge form so that your child can participate in the dance.
5. Return pledge form (and cash/cheques) by April 23.
6. Get ready to dance!

There is no competition between students for collecting the most pledges and all students will get to dance no matter what they raise. You can feel good about the money though - it goes right back to the kids in the form of special activities like the Visiting Artist program we recently enjoyed. The two classes who raise the most money will win a prize!

Thanks for your help!
