Walk-A-Thon and Golden Rule Day: April 5th 2018

Casady Walk-A-Thon 2017

Walkathon 2018

The Casady Walkathon is today, Thursday, April 5. This event, organized by the Upper Division Student Council, invites students from across the campus to participate and help raise donations to support the Children's Hospital at OU Medical Center. Please read the letter attached below from the Student Council to learn how you can participate!

A Letter from the Student Council

Dear Casady Community, 

The Casady Walkathon to support the Children’s Hospital at OU Medical Center is a school fundraiser in which participants raise money by collecting donations or pledges for walking a predetermined distance or course. 

We would like to invite the students to be a part of this fun-filled day and to give back to the community! All donations will be sent to Children’s Hospital to help all children in their care and in memory of Bennett Hanneman, the son of Lower Division faculty member Aimee Hanneman. 

The Casady Walkathon is scheduled Thursday, April 5th, from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. T-shirts are being sold for $15 in the student center during Upper Division’s activities period (1:10-1:40 p.m.) and will also be available the day of the race. Along with walking around the lake, Casady Upper Division clubs also invite participants to enjoy fun activities and food from 1:00 to 2:30 p.m. 

Activities for the day include dodgeball, Family Feud, and other fun events. There will also be a DJ (our own Casady student) providing music as the participants enjoy their laps around the lake. 

Along with this notification, you will receive a pledge sheet. The pledge sheet should be used for recording donations per lap. Additional sheets will be available in each division office. Students should approach friends and family with the request for a monetary donation for walking and record information on the sheet, which will be turned in after the Casady Walkathon. Upper Division students’ laps will be tallied, and this number should be used to contact and receive the appropriate amount from each donor. In Lower and Middle Division, the amount may be collected as pledged. Please make donations payable to Casady School either by cash or check. Casady Student Council will then make the total donation to Children’s Hospital.

The Casady Student Council and teachers will supervise younger students throughout the day. Those attending should dress and prepare accordingly for the weather as the event will be held rain or shine. The day will be full of music, activities, and the possibility of winning prizes! This is a great way to support our greater community! It will be a good experience for all involved, and we hope you can walk to make a difference!

All the booths will be in the Chapel parking lot this year. There will be a dunk tank and a castle slide. This year one of our own students (Elijah\, 9th) will be our DJ during the
