Color it in as funds are collected and permission slips are turned in. Team, class or grade goals and thermometers are also helpful. Set a goal for student participation. Encourage teacher, staff and all-school involvement. Invite the whole school to get involved by asking other teachers to discuss the event in all their classes, emphasizing building healthy hearts and helping others in the community.
Recruit teachers to participate and jump in the event.
Create a bonus or an extra incentive to the classes that have 100 percent participation or the grade that raises the most money. Bonuses might include 10 minutes extra recess one day, a nutritious snack, a video presentation of a popular film, or their favorite PE activity for the week. Secure the services of the yearbook staff in taking pictures during the event. Ask the cafeteria director to prepare a snack for students participating in the event. Encourage a student committee or organization to help contribute or sponsor the event.
