WES hosted their first ever Walk-A-Thon on Monday, Feb. 6th, 2012. For a couple of weeks prior to the Walk-A-Thon students collected sponsorships from friends, family, and neighbors to help raise money for the event. If student's raised $25 they got a T-Shirt that said Super Walker with the event information on it. For every $100 in sponsorships the students got their name put into a random drawing to win a 19 inch flat screen TV. Bayleigh raised $173 for the school. She did a great job! At the end of the day, her principal drew a winner out of the $100 collectors and Bayleigh WON! YAY Bayleigh!!! In addition to winning the TV, during the Walk-A-Thon, which took place during specials times with the entire grade getting together, there was a hula hoop competition and also a volleyball competition during the Walk-A-Thon that students could participate in if they choose too. Bayleigh won the hula hoop competition out of her whole grade as well! For that she won a glow necklace. When I brought her home after school she was so excited and said, "Mom, Monday must be my lucky day"! :D I think she's right! Good Job Bayleigh!
