HOMEWORK

APRIL QUESTION

The March Miracle event at Norup helps to raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.  The money raised helps fund cancer research for a cure to leukemia, Lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and melanoma. This is only one of many great causes. Your assignment for this month is to write a one page paper on an organization (other than our March Miracle event) that uses pphysical activity to help fund-raise.  Include: the name of the organization; the activity participants do; why you chose this event and why the money is raised. 

DUE DATE is APRIL 16, 2012.

 Paper should be of high quality, informative, neat and completed on time.

 

**Parents please remind your child to bring gym clothes to school on Monday and keep in their gym locker until needed for class.  This habit will help to alleviate the lost of points.
