Gooaal...Splash!

The Catholic Schools Walk was talked about in this section last week, yet now the frenzy to see if a dunk tank needs to be ordered actually begins! Yes, this year's Catholic School's Walk committee upped the ante. If we reach our school goal of raising $34,000 by Thursday, October 10th at noon, students will have the chance to see Fr. Schumaker, or Mr. Spelter, or Mrs. Pogacar get thoroughly drenched in a tank full of icy cold water!

Now, when the idea was proposed, it was likely one of those splendid, summer-like days we have enjoyed this September. Our walk is happening in October. If you've lived in Wisconsin long enough, you know that the possibility of getting snow in October is very real. Having an 80+ degree day in mid-October is not as common. The prospect of falling in cold water on a 50 degree day is not something any of us would commonly wish for, but in this case, for this event and this goal, the SMV administrative team will happily brace themselves for the dunk. Let's make this happen!

SMV Catholic Schools Walk

Our walk event materials were sent via email and home in backpacks with each student. Here they are again:

• The packet of information with walk details, dates and incentives, and instructions on how to raise funds
• The permission slip your student will need to have signed and returned to school participate in our walk events on October 11th.

Finally, here is the information to use and pass along for fundraising, specific to SMV.
