Dear Students and Families,
The Collingwood School Parent Association is raising funds to improve the bike racks at Collingwood and we need your help!
From May 17 to June 13, students can participate in the Escuela Collingwood School Bike-a-thon to raise $6,000 to improve the bike racks.
Students’ supporters can choose to sponsor kids for each kilometer they ride, per trip to/from school, per bike ride in the evening or on the weekends for kids who do not live within biking distance of school, or with a lump sum contribution. Donations large or small will all go to the Collingwood School Parent Association in support of the refurbishment.
The bike racks at Collingwood were originally designed to keep bikes standing up, and they do not accommodate modern locks because it is hard to get bikes close enough to the bars to lock them up properly. We recognize that having proper bike locks will make it easier for more children to ride their bikes to school - thereby increasing physical activity, decreasing congestion during drop-off, and helping to protect the environment by decreasing greenhouse gas emissions.
Steps to Register a Class Team:
Step 1: Go to the Escuela Collingwood Bike-a-thon page!
Step 2: Click on Fundraise.
Step 3: Click on Join a Team.
Step 4: Select your team/teacher’s name from the drop-down menu.
Step 5: Add your name and, if you wish, a photo or other image.
Finally: Add the amount of money you are hoping to raise. There is no minimum! You can update your fundraising page with details of how much you cycle over the month.
You can also participate by keeping track of your cycling on the tracking sheets that are sent home today, May 16 with your brand new Collingwood pencil!
Tracking your cycling will help your class qualify for prizes that will be announced on Sports Day, June 14.
Happy cycling and thank you for participating!
From,
The Collingwood School Parents’ Association
