Zoom-a-Thon Prize Chart

The Kick-Off for the Zoom-a-Thon is nearly here. We thought you might like to know a little bit about the prizes and the prize levels, so we've put together this handy dandy reference chart.  Click on it for a bigger version.

Top Earner Prize 4th / 5th Grader:  Flip Video Camera

Top Class Earner Prize 4th / 5th:  30 min of recess, a pizza party and $75 gift card for the teacher from either Office Depot or the Parent-Teacher Store.


Prize Levels 1, 2, and 3 will be distributed to the students prior to the Zoom-a-Thon on September 30th.  Prize Levels 4 - 10 and the overall top earner prizes will not be distributed until after all pledged money has been collected.  Students will be recognized at a couple of Zoom-a-thon assemblies, but will not receive their additional prizes until after October 15, 2010.  As your child achieves each new Prize Level, he / she will have earned that new Prize Level prize, in addition to all previously earned prizes.

In order to make it easier to understand, this year our "Money Raised" levels will be based on flat donations.  In years past, the whole per-lap versus flat donations thing made it difficult for parents and students to understand what prize level they were at.  We hope this new system will clarify things.  If your child has recorded largely per-lap pledges, just multiply the per-lap pledges by a total number of 35 laps for your "Money Raised" amount.  If your child has only flat donations pledges, it should be very simple to find your child's Prize Level.

All pledged money is due no later than October 14, 2010.  Money collected after that date will still be accepted but will not count towards prizes.
