The Fitness Fest is our annual fundraiser that supports Friends of Ivanhoe.  One of the programs FOI raises funds for is Physical Education at Ivanhoe, so our teachers can spend time together planning their classroom lessons.  If every child raises $100 we can reach our goal of $40,000.   Ask family, friends, and neighbors to help support you as you pour your heart (and sweat) into your school!

When:

How:
The younger students (K-2) will complete six (6) stations and the older students (3-5) will run laps.

We also include a Parent/Teacher Water Balloon Toss for the end of the event.  This is lots of fun for the kids to watch their favorite teacher compete to stay dry!

All students must bring a WATER BOTTLE to the event!  We will refill water bottles from large 5-gallon water jugs.

Committee:

We need at least 5 parents to help run this event.  We will have our first meeting during the first week of March (immediately after drop-off in the teacher’s lounge). 

As a committee we need to coordinate the following:

• Posting Fitness Fest Posters at school prior to event
• Helping refill water for participants on the day of the even
• Obtaining a healthy treat for participants for after the event
• Coordinating events with the PE Coach
• Obtaining any equipment needed for the events
• Obtaining student lists (by class) for the day of the event (mark off number of laps/events completed)
• Obtaining rubber bands for marking each station/lap
• Coordinating Parent/Teacher Water Balloon Toss
• Visiting each classroom on the day BEFORE the event to remind students to bring a water bottle to the lower yard.
