Z's Been Spotted at Heardmont Park!

Keep your eyes peeled for the Zoom-a-thon mascot, Z.  Z was spotted a few weeks ago at Heardmont Park.  Z was training for this year's Zoom-a-thon.  As you can see, we took Z by surprise.  Z's a very private person and doesn't much like all this attention.

You never know where or when Z is going to pop up, so it pays to stay on your toes and keep your eyes peeled.  Z's ready for the Zoom-a-thon.  How about you?

Zoom-a-thon Update

Zoom-a-Thon T-shirts
Do you feel the excitement building?  Last week, we placed the order for the Zoom-a-thon t-shirts.  The lime green shirts are fun and bright.  They feature a modified Zoom-a-thon logo on the front and a "Z" shaped set of footprints on the back.  Each "foot" will represent one lap run on race day.

Zoom-a-thon PTO Committee Meeting
This week, the PTO Zoom committee will be meeting to finalize the times for our various Zoom-related events and to begin making plans for the Pep Rally.  We have a lot of great things in store, including an all-new Zoom-a-thon video, which will debut at the Pep Rally.

Calling All Facebook Friends
We need more Facebook friends!  If you are on Facebook and would like to stay up-to-date on all the Zoom-a-thon happenings, please be sure to "like" our Zoom-a-thon Facebook page.  Just search for "Zoom-a-thon OMIS" and click the "like" button.  Please help us spread the word about both this website and the Facebook group.  We really want all our parents to feel like they're a big part of this fundraiser.  It's easier to find a way to plug in and help if you know what's going on ahead of time.
