The 9th Annual NES Mini Relay for Life!
On Thursday, May 25th, Fourth Grade will be hosting the NES mini Relay for Life from 8:45 a.m. (opening ceremony) to 11:30 a.m. (closing remarks). Participating fourth graders will walk for 20-minute shifts from 9:00-11:30. In addition, there will be a variety of activities offered throughout the morning, including dancing, an obstacle course, hula-hooping, carnival-style games, etc. Interested student walkers/volunteers should sign up with their homeroom teachers and should then raise funds by pre-collecting pledges from sponsors. Students not wishing to walk are encouraged to participate in other ways (e.g., contributing to a classmate’s fund drive, making posters, supporting walkers). All proceeds will be donated to the Newport Relay for Life to be held June 19-20.

The 9th Annual NES Mini Relay for Life!
On Thursday, May 25th, Fourth Grade will be hosting the NES mini Relay for Life. Participating fourth graders will walk for 20-minute shifts from 9:00-11:30. In addition, there will be a variety of activities offered throughout the morning, including dancing, hula-hooping, etc. We also have invited the other grade levels to participate in this event. We hope to offer an obstacle course, carnival-style games, sno-cones, and face painting for the students to enjoy.
Interested 4th grade student walkers/volunteers should sign up with their homeroom teachers and should then raise funds by pre-collecting pledges from sponsors. Students not wishing to walk are encouraged to participate in other ways (e.g., contributing to a classmate’s fund drive, making posters, supporting walkers). All proceeds will be donated to the Newport Relay for Life to be held June 16-17.
We could really use your help in making this event run as smoothly as possible! We will need parents to face paint (artistic skill not required), to assist at the obstacle course, to participate in the games, and to walk with us! If you are willing and able to help out with this fundraiser, please fill out the information at the bottom of this page.
** If you are unable to join us that day, you can still help in other ways. We need donations of the following: face painting supplies/kits
cases of water (small bottles)
(No need to sign up for donations -- just send in the supplies as you are able.)
Please contact Jane Gillwood at if you have any questions. Thanks!
