Historically, Jog-a-thon winners got to dunk the teachers. This year is harder since the older kids don’t enjoy it and it is hot. They were not as happy as little guys- too loud &hot. This year, we won’t have it.
 * 1) Ask your team for alternatives for Jog-a-thon winners.

Discuss with the team to be sure who is going. It is in February. Next PLC—Your team should check the WP calendar for the things that your grade level needs to know about/ special dates specific to your grade level. Email Rita and AM regarding changes. The dates will be noted on the WP calendar. AMS will creat a LEADERSHIP WIKI and invite LT members to join. LT will be able to make changes This will eliminate emails to convey the info. Also, LT members can post comments about grade level updates. . EXAMPLE : To raise funds for the 6th grade team will be selling apples during L__oved One’s Day.__
