We are hosting a Dance-A-Thon on Thursday, February 24. Each grade level will have a solid 35 minutes of dancing in the gym to some fun favorites, led by Miss Rebecca. ALL students will dance (no need to donate anything to have a fun dance party).
First, families log in or sign up on MYBOOSTER.COM. Then, register your child as a participant on MYBOOSTER.COM by searching for Steenrod.
Next, families can help connect students to sponsors by sharing their pledge link on Facebook, other social media, through email, or even a text. Sponsors can enter and pay for those donations online through students’ pledge link! Sponsors can give a flat donation or pledge per minute danced.
For pledges not made on MYBOOSTER.COM, you can still turn in cash or check. Please make checks out to Steenrod Elementary (write Playground in the memo).
Check out the FUN incentives to encourage participation!
