MARK YOUR CALENDAR!
Sponsorships
Prizes for participants (Racers get 1 chance in the prize pool for every filled sponsorship card; for each additional 10 laps, they are given an additional chance)
We hope to have hourly drawings as well as a grand prize!
We are particularly looking for class T-shirt sponsors (sponsor name on back)
Also still in need of a grand prize donation.
There will be 6 Teams:

Class of 2010 (Juniors)
Class of 2011 (Sophomores)
Class of 2012 (Freshmen)
EPHS Faculty/Staff

Every team should have at least one member on the track the entire 24 hours. As well as encouraging fitness, this is a wonderful chance for students to bond as they work toward the common goal of getting a marquee built this fall.
Participants will sign up to do their laps during a specified time period. All students under 18 will need parental permission to participate. We encourage families to cheer on their student, especially those 'night owls' who want the magic of walking in the 'wee hours'.
Sign-up:
Students will sign up to participate at lunchtime every day next week. There will be sign up tables in the cafeteria and main hallway (by the tigers, of course!) Monday through Friday. Morning announcements will include the number of people signed up for each team on a daily basis!
The goal:
Each class to raise at least $5000 and get their class name on a 'brick' on the marquee. Although it is a big number altogether, if 200 class members participate, each only needs to raise $25 to reach that goal. The more raised, the sooner their activities & accomplishments will be up in lights!
Spira footwear has already been most generous!
Two pairs of shoes will be drawn at the rally and another 2 pairs during the event.
Please bring your potential sponsor list on 4/20.
We tried to schedule this meeting early and at lunchtime to encourage lots of people to attend.

This is one of your last opportunities to get involved this school year. It is truly gratifying and exciting to work with these kids and they are so happy and excited at your support.
Dads! This activity is on the weekend and a great chance for your teen to see you involved in their school!
Thanks in advance for your help!
