This annual fall fundraiser provides the students
of Bird Rock the opportunity to directly contribute
to the betterment of their school. Children (along
with their parents) procure sponsors, then walk
laps on the upper field from 9:30 – 11 AM.
After the tallies are in, prizes are given to those
who walk the most laps and those who raise the most
money. This is a fun volunteer opportunity—look
in your Tuesday envelope. Plan to attend this festive
day of school spirit and cheer our children on as
they Walk ‘n' Rock the day away!
