0 Oo hd The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, October 6, 1993 3 Dallas students walk for fun, profit . By GRACE R. DOVE “ Post Staff : school students doing “the Loco- PO VO More than 100 elementary - motion” is a pretty impressive sight. Especially when they're .doing it for a good cause. Dallas Elementary School stu- ‘-dents participating in the Parent- “Teacher Organization's (PTO) annual Walk-a-Thon raised $3,947.75 for special projects Pa ha a 3 PD [3 » r [3 ¥ [} “while taking advantage of the sunshine and crisp autumn air October 1 to walk laps for cash pledges around a track, join in group dancing and snag some snacks. Encouraged by the Dallas var- sity cheerleaders, the kids walked either for fun or to fulfill pledges for specified numbers of laps. “It's fun to help motivate them. We don’t mind helping out,” the cheerleaders said. . Radio station KRZ's Tookey Bird, mimes from College Miseri- cordia’s Clown Ministryand KRZ's “Sky Box,” an impressively loud “sound booth on the back of a " truck, were on hand to help out. Several younger girls squealed with delight as the “Achey Breaky” boomed out over the sound sys- ¢ tem, lining up on the soccer field » to do their version of the popular . Country-Western dance. Later, Mrs. Roeder and a dozen laughing students formed a circle $8 EE EADLS FOF to do the “Chicken Dance,” keep- ing up with the music as its speed increased. Students also could try the gimmick laps. There, they had to hop on one foot, walk backwards or do the Bunny Hop and the Chicken Dance all the way around the track. Each homeroom selected a theme for a banner, which they made and carried around the track, competing for prizes in each grade level. Zezza's Zooming Ziti zipped by, hotly pursued by Brown's Braves, complete with funky feather war bonnets and face paint. Other students pranced by, bearing signs with unusual names like Lyon's Nittany Lions, Doer- fler's Dynamite, Reishu’s Really Radical, Mrs. Cannon's Cannon- balls and Mrs. Klick's Candle- sticks. A group of fifth-graders taking a break after several laps agreed that it was fun geting out of class for the afternoon, even if their teachers had made them work extra hard that morning to make up for it. Pledged to walk five laps, Crys- tal Heffner had already completed two. “It’s neat, especially helping out the PTO,” she said. “It's fun,” said Heather Jones, wearing her Dallas Mini-Mounts cheerleader’s uniform. “I think I'll try the gimmick laps —ifJen does.” Jennifer Gross, Heather's best buddy, said that the PTO should do this more often, “maybe once a week.” Mrs. Cannon's first graders were the overall winners, coming outwith a $20 cash prize for being the top fundraisers and $15 for having the funniest class banner. They may use their prizes to buy something for their classroom. Other winners in the home- room banner competition were: cutest, Harding's Hounds (kin- dergarten); most creative, Zezza's Zooming Ziti (second grade); most original, Roeder's Rock-ettes (third grade); best theme, Jones’ Jog- ger-Knots (fourth grade) and cool- est, Nulton’'s Knightmares (fifth grade.) Each winning classroom will receive a $15 cash prize to buy something for their classroom. Money raised by the Walk-a- Thon will be used to support PTO events for the children, including holiday shopping, field trips, spe- cial parties and assemblies, and to help home and school visitor Joan Makowski in her work with students. “Overall, this year's Walk-a- Thon was better than last year,” said Paula Opel, who co-chaired the event with Debbie Carey. “The kids said that they really liked the music and have asked us to plan another Walk-a-Thon next year.” “WALK-A-THON BUDDIES - Fifth-graders Amy Koshinski, Heather Jones, Jennifer Gross, Jolene Mintzer, Crystal Heffner and Jennifer Hardisky joined in the Dallas Elementary School PTO’s annual é “ Walk-a-thon to help raise money for special projects. * POST PHOTO/GRACE R.
