You may have seen this poster on our noticeboard at school. The event is this weekend, so let us remind you of what it’s all about.
Tamika Handfield, a parent at the school, is excited to hold her 2nd annual ACCU Nutrition Move-a-thon on January 12th, 2013 beginning at 5:30am. Her first move-a-thon, last year was a huge success with well over 200 persons in attendance, with quite a few Provo Primary families participating. Tamika’s goal for this year’s event is that it will be bigger and better.
Provo Primary is happy to promote this event and hopes that your family is able to participate. It’s an early start, but we hope you’ll think it’s worth the effort! So feel welcome to join in, wearing our school’s colours and taking our school spirit. Read on to find out more details and download your registration-form here or pick one up at school.
Choose to join in, walking, running or biking a 5K route from the Children’s Park in the Bight up to The Regent Palms and back. There is also a 10K and ½ Marathon challenge too (See the poster at school or contact Tamika for details).
Registration Fees: $15 for a family $10 for individual children $20 per adult
Registration forms are available in the office and here online.
T-shirts will be given to participants on a first come, first serve basis so set those alarm clocks and don’t be late!
A part of the proceeds raised will be donated to a selected school to enhance the nutritional well-being of the students through the commencement of nutrition education/cooking classes. The school with the most participants (students, teachers and parents) present at the move-a-thon will be selected as the winning school. Last year’s winning school was Enid Capron and the students have been having a blast and learning lots about healthy choices and lifestyles in their Nutrition Education/cooking classes! The remainder of the funds will be given to Nutrition in Demand—a nonprofit dedicated to raising awareness and increasing sensitivity to the importance of health and healthy eating in the community.
