Successful 2016 Walk-A-Thon Thanks to Amazing Teamwork

6/7/2016

 
The 2nd Annual Waters’ Wildcat Walk-a-Thon was a huge success! Our students raised $11,254 for WatersToday to support sports at Waters! Thank you to all the parent volunteers and school staff who made this year’s Walk-a-Thon such a fun and active event. What an amazing school community! The kids devoured the bananas and watermelon donated by Harvest Time and Trader Joe’s after their walks (and in some cases sprints) around our fabulous school.
We’re thrilled to have a 50% increase in student pledge participation this year. Over 190 students raised funds and earned Wildcat sunglasses for raising money (at any level). Over 130 students raised $50 or more, and these students will each receive a Waters Wildcat duffle bag by the end of the school year.

Top Individual Student Fundraisers:
  1. Forrest D. – $410
  2. Declan H. –  $260
  3. Lucille R.– $255.11
  4. Quinn B. – $210
  5. (TIE) Halsey T. and Nora B. –  $200

We’re pleased to reward these kids with fabulous prizes that were generously donated by: Waters Family Martyniuk (Cubs Tickets), Lincoln Square Athletic Club (Pool Party), Galter Life Center (Private Swim Lessons), Field Museum (Family Membership) and New Balance ($100 gift card). Given the tie for fifth place, we purchased a $100 Target gift card to assure all of the top pledge raisers are rewarded fairly.


Grade Winners
Each grade had a contest among the classes to raise the most money in their respective grade level and the following classes earned an extra hour of recess:
  • Kindergarten: Ms.Ramos
  • First Grade: Ms. Soto – Raised the most money – $1,192*
  • Second Grade: Ms. Johnson
  • Third Grade: Ms. Katsulous
  • Fourth Grade: Mr. Orlov
  • Fifth Grade: Ms. Zelle
  • Sixth Grade: Ms. Del Campo
  • Seventh Grade: Mr. Gyftakos

*Congratulations to Ms. Soto’s class for raising more money than any other classroom. Ms. Soto will display the Walk-a-Thon trophy in her classroom until next year’s Walk-A-Thon, and her class earned both an extra hour of recess PLUS a soccer/yoga clinic compliments of Waters parent Kerry Maiorica (Bloom Yoga) and Mr. Kurz.
