As many of you know, Kristi Loeffelholz, a bus driver for over 20 years with Iowa-Grant, was recently diagnosed with acute chronic leukemia. Kristi’s love for children has always shone throughout the years. She greets each child by name as they get on and off her bus. She has organized the Livingston Easter Egg Hunt for many years and began the program Books on the Bus, providing books for children to read while on their bus route. We believe that it is time that we give back to Kristi. We would like to invite the IGEMS students to participate in the “Kind Kids for Kristi” Fun Run taking place at IGEMS on Tuesday, May 24thduring the school day (rain date – May 25th). Ms. Martinez and the PE department are organizing the run into three grade level sections: K-2 (1 mile course), 3-4 (1.5 mile course), & 5-8 (2 mile course). We are asking that each child interested in running/walking donate to the Fun Run. For K-2 children, the requested donation is $1, and children in grades 3-8, the requested donation is $2 per child. If you would like to donate more than that, GREAT!! All monies collected will go to Kristi to assist her family with the mounting medical bills. We are looking for 100% participation from every IGEMS student.
A permission slip will be with kids today! Please fill out and return at your earliest convenience. Thank you!
I sent home the permission slips last week, but I have more if the students need.
