WE ARE THE WORLD WALKATHON

Ms. Reichmuth's Fourth Grade is raising funds for Heifer International’s Send a Girl to School program. Every $225 raised sends one girl to school, and our goal is to raise $550, enough to send two girls to school which will help families and generations!

• 📅 When: Dec. 17–19, during morning recess
• 📍 Where: Argonaut lower blacktop
• 👟 Who: Room 23 students, parent volunteers, and anyone who wants to join!

Each student will walk 15 laps over three days to raise money for this important cause. A suggested donation of $15 (just $1 per lap) or more will help make education accessible for girls around the world. Donations of any size are welcomed and appreciated. Your support will make a lasting impact!

How to Get Involved:

• Register by 12/13: Want to join us? Register here to participate.
• Donate by 12/20: Just want to donate? https://fundraise.heifer.org/ArgonautWeAreTheWorld

Together, we can give girls the opportunity to go to school and change their lives. Let’s make a difference, one lap at a time! Thank you for your support!
