St. Simon's annual Surf-the-Turf Walk-a-thon is around the corner on
May 17th, Sunday 12-3 at SFHS Track. This is a great school spirit
tradition and community event. The students attended a school assembly
today and can tell you more about the fun in store and the deserving
cause we raise funds for (the St. Simon PAG Teacher Fund). Every
student received a packet today- please take the time to look thru our
FAQ, rules and Sponsor form. Also, in these times of economic
uncertainty, we are looking for underwriters to help us defray costs.
If you have the resources, we appreciate it if you can consider
underwriting a prize. The volunteer form listing different tasks is
also in this packet. To access any of these forms online, including
rules, underwriting, sponsor form, and volunteer, please go to our
website:http://school.stsimon.org/walkathon See you there!
