The 7th annual Geist Elementary Gator Gallop is on the way October 12, 2012 and is a very cool - and healthy - way for students to raise money for the school without resorting to the traditional means of selling cookies, gift wrap, magazines, and the like.
Each grade level will walk, skip, gallop and limbo their way through a course set-up outside for approximately 30 minutes.
Please consider sponsoring a student if you're approached to help. The goal is to obtain an average of $50 in pledges per student.
Chris Berger and the gang at State Farm Insurance will have the State Farm "Neighbear" on hand to pass out prizes and goodies to the kids. Thanks to State Farm for their support!
The PTO utilizes all money raised from fundraising events to help offset items otherwise cut from the budget due to current economic constraints.

The Geist Elementary Gator Gallop sounds like a great way to bring students, families, and the local community together through an active event. I like how school activities such as this can create positive memories while encouraging participation and teamwork. Balancing school events with academic responsibilities can sometimes be challenging, especially when larger projects come up and students wonder, “Do my dissertation for me.” What are some other school community events that have made a lasting impression on you?
