SES Run/Walk/Move event! Friday, October 25!

We are excited to announce the annual SES Run Walk Move event on Friday, October 25, 2019. This school-wide fundraising event is organized by the SES PTSA and family volunteers with collaboration and support from school staff. SES Run Walk Move is similar to a traditional jog-a-thon where participants gather pledges from sponsors and run or walk laps around the school. At SES, our participants can also earn “laps” by dancing with a NW Dance Project instructor. Pledges may be made as lump sums or per lap. The idea is for families and others to support the students in any way they can, be it in dimes, dollars, running along side your student, or cheering. The money raised from this event goes towards funding the SES place-based-learning curriculum and events. Last year this fun-filled event raised over $12,000 for our school!

We invite you to join us in supporting SES Run Walk Move and all of our students by following these steps:

  1. Help your student(s) gather pledges through the traditional paper forms [download your paper form here]. You also have the option to also ask friends and family to donate online by setting up a Walkstarter webpage. With a parent or another adult, students can visit sunnyside.walkstarter.org and set up a page in minutes. Each participant can visit sunnyside.walkstarter.org and create a webpage, setting lap and fundraising goals with a custom avatar to share with potential donors via email or social media. Donors simply click the link and make a pledge in a few easy steps. Parents and kids can monitor progress toward their fundraising goals and easily send thank-you emails from the site. Walkstarter is private and secure, so no one can get to your child’s page unless they have your unique URL. Note: You can get donations on the paper form or through Walkstarter or a combination! Whatever works best for you, your family and your sponsors.
  2. Help your student remember to bring a water bottle and wear weather and activity appropriate clothing and shoes for the event day on Friday, October 25.
  3. Join us on the day of the event to cheer our students, run or dance along with them, and/or help tally laps. We plan to have supporters stationed around the school to help cheer and monitor students.
  4. Turn in your students’ pledge forms and collected pledges to the SES office or by online payments by Thursday, November 7.

This is the scoop:
 
~ classes take place inside one of the spaces at the Sunnyside Methodist Church, right by the school, on the corner of  35th and Yamhill. That allows us to offer classes not only to SES students, but also for other kids in the community.
 
~ we will have two classes. One monthly program for advanced students that have been doing the Capoeira after school program for a few terms now. That class full. We also have a new monthly class, to fulfill the demand: on Wednesdays 4:30-5:30 pm and cap at 12 students. Classes start on Wednesday 9/5. $90 for the first 2 months and $60/month after that. All grades are welcome and I can let you know the average age of the students as they enroll. Professor Pyata Penedo will be back. Pyata is Brazilian and a Capoeira practitioner for several years now. In Portland, he is under Mestre Dilaho, also Brazilian, from CTE Capoeiragem (https://www.facebook.com/CTEOregon/ ). Classes fill up really fast, so if you are interested, please let me know at leticia.rlgeorge@yahoo.com.br
