Today students were given their Math-a-thon envelopes and parent permission slips. Math-a-thon is really easy (not to mention educationl) for students to participate in, and it’s a great way for them to become more aware of and help kids who are struggling with life threatening diseases. All of the money raised through our Math-a-thon will go directly to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital.
To participate, all students need to do is get their parent permission slip signed, obtain at least $5 in sponsorships, and work as many fun math activities as they can in the official Math-a-thon booklet. Students, of course, may obtain more than the $5 minimum, and there are some great prizes to reward them if they do.
We’re counting on 100% participation, so let’s get those permission slips in.
