Donor's Choose: FIT to the BEAT

Hello Christie Parents,

This year PE/Fitness is wanting to incorporate a drumming fitness activity into our workout. However, we want to make sure our students have the materials they need to succeed, so I just created a DonorsChoose.org classroom request.   Please click on the Fit to the Beat link below to donate.

Fit to the Beat

When you give to our classroom by October 6, 2016, your donation will be doubled thanks to DonorsChoose.org. Just enter the code LIFTOFF during checkout and you'll be matched dollar for dollar (up to $50).

Thank you so much,
PE/Fitness Team

P.S. If you know anyone who may want to help all our students, please pass this along!
