St. Jude's Math-A-Thon 2012
Scott City Schools will once again be participating in the St. Jude's Math-A-Thon, to raise money for the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Scott City Schools has been involved with St. Jude fund raisers for almost 40 years, and participating in the Math-A-Thon every year since its beginning in 2001. Scott City has raised approximately $80,000 in the Math-A-Thon, and is wanting to do even more. During the week of January 30th-February 3rd, students will watch a video about St. Jude Hospital, what it does and how funds are raised with the Math-A-Thon. Students will bring home information and a permission slip for parents to sign if they will allow their child to help collect funds. Once the permission slip is signed and returned, a sponsor form for collecting money will be handed out. All students in kindergarten through fourth grade will have math booklets available to them whether they wish to collect or not. There will also be books available for middle school students as well. The program will end February 29th. Math-A-Thons provide the benefit of improving math skills, as well as teaching compassion and empathy for those children struggling with terrible illnesses. If you have any questions, or need more information, you may contact the coordinator, Nancy Caldwell, at (573) 264-2568. Box Top Collection Through RAM Club
