Dear Parents/Guardians,
On Friday, April 8th, students and staff of Garden Avenue Public school will partake in our first ever Dance-A-Thon! This event will serve as an important fundraiser to raise money for Technology equipment that will be used by all students throughout the school.
Our Dance will be hosted by Terry Johnson from Cyber Zone Video Dance Company (www.cyberzone.com). Terry is a very experienced Dance-A-Thon host who has participated in many events throughout southwest Ontario for many years. He offers age appropriate dance experiences for all students. From guided dance moves for Kindergarten to light shows and music videos for all Junior level students.
All students Kindergarten to Grade 6 will have an opportunity to dance for 30 to 45 minutes (depending on their grade level) in our gym. We are asking that each student, if possible, contributes a $2 entry fee in order to cover the cost of our host. Each student will also be provided with a glow bracelet to be used during the event.
Your child will have a pledge form that accompanies this note. We would be most grateful if students would collect pledges from family and friends and return their forms by Friday, April 8th. Please note, all students will participate in this event regardless of whether or not they contribute pledges or entry fee.
Should you have any questions about the Dance-A-Thon, please do not hesitate to contact me directly.
Sincerely,
Alana Hardy
Principal
