The Play-A-Thon should be a fun (and stress-free!) event for the whole family. Here are some creative ways to get your child(ren) involved.
Have your child(ren) reach out to friends, family, neighbors, and colleagues (via phone or email) to enlist sponsors and spread the word about CWC and the Play-A-Thon. It is easy to import contacts from your email server or Facebook within your child's fundraising page.
Make a short video of your child talking about what they value most about CWC East Valley and why it deserves support. There is an easy way to publish the video in the fundraising page and forward it to your contacts.
The following is a script your child can use to help gather support:
Hello, my name is ________. I am a ______ grader at Citizens of the World East Valley. What I love most about my school is _______. We also have art, music, P.E., and awesome TA in our classrooms. Our school relies on donations to help us each year.We’re having a Play-A-Thon on March 2nd, 2023 and I would be grateful if you would sponsor me. You can make a donation at cwceastvalley.org/playParents can support their child’s efforts by sharing the following information about CWC EV and what makes it unique and worthy of a donation:
- CA schools receive less public funding than many other states.
- CWC is a rare model of a school that is dedicated to creating a diverse community.
- CWC incorporates social emotional learning into its school model without compromising rigorous academic excellence and project-based learning.
- Art, Music, and P.E. are an important part of the core curriculum, providing a well-rounded and enriched education.
- CWC provides small class sizes with one credentialed teachers and Teaching Associates in classrooms.
The Play-A-Thon is unique in that it offers our students the opportunity to get involved in the fundraising process by garnering sponsors in support of their school.
There is a valuable lesson inherent in the Play-A-Thon: the things in life we value most are only possible if we dedicate time, effort, thought, and perseverance. Our administration, teaching staff, and parents/guardian serve as great examples of the hard work and grit it takes to create and sustain such an incredible school.
What better way for our children to learn firsthand, how they too can exemplify these important qualities and be active participants in supporting CWC EV?
