Discovery's 2nd Annual Walk-a-Thon to Aid Playground Improvements

Discovery PTA is so excited for our second annual walk-a-thon on Wednesday, May 10. This PTA fundraiser will help raise money for our initiative to provide climbing equipment to enhance the intermediate (3rd to 5th) playground and add new play equipment on the primary side. We also will be adding a ramp and playground surfacing to allow access for our special-needs students. Over the past two school years, the PTA has raised $11,000 and is a quarter of the way to our goal.

Donation packets went home with students at the end of April. This is a flat donation event, not a per-lap pledge. All donations must be turned in to teachers by Friday, May 12. If you would like to make a donation of $50 or more, please consider donating to Discovery PTA's playground initiative through the West Ada Education Foundation. Your donation will go directly to the playground improvements, and you will be eligible to earn a tax deduction. Your donation also will go further if your employer matches donations to nonprofit organizations. Go to the Discovery web page to find the link to make your donation.

The student who raises the most money in grades K-2 and 3-5 will get to be assistant principal for the day with Mr. Dudley. Also, if a student raises $20, they will earn a ticket with their name on it to go in a prize drawing to win the following:

• Bricks & Minifigs Boise birthday package worth $150
• Two full-day tickets for Roaring Springs
• Mini golf at Wahooz
• Family pass or Dart Warz
• Laser Maze from ToyTown
• Glow-in-the-Dark Lab from ToyTown
• Bowling passes from Meridian Lanes
• Big Al's FunCards
• Zoo Boise family pass
• Le Creme Frozen Yogurt gift cards

Thank you for all of your support to make this fundraiser a success and bringing us closer to our playground goals.
