We need people

A note from Mrs Bagby:Hi, everyone. An FYI to all of you about our running/walking “Garner Gait-er” Club which will be starting up next Tuesday. Attached is the parent/guardian letter that will be going home with interested 3-6 graders today and the rest of the week. All details are included in the letter. However, I want to let you know that CLUB MEMBERS, will have the opportunity to purchase a “Garner Gait-er” t-shirt. This t-shirt will have a special “logo”. T-shirts will be $8.00 apiece and that is close to cost. Club members, only, will be purchasing these. Also, should any of you be interested, or know of an interested parent, who could assist me with this club, whether t-shirt orders, or paper work, or punching participation cards at lunch recess, I would really appreciate the help. This club should be great for our kids (body-brain connection) and I am hoping they really enjoy it as well. Thank you for your continued support. Karen Bagby
If any one is available to help please contact Mrs Bagby.
The letter explaining the Garner Gait-er Club can me found here.
