WFES Jingle Jog
On Sunday, April 22, 2012, Wakefield Forest Elementary held its 2nd Annual “WOLF” Jingle Jog. The purpose of the “WOLF” Jingle Jog was both sentimental and fitness-related. We remembered a dear WFES student, Marlee Treger, who passed away after her battle with cancer in 2006. We also recognized and reinforced the importance of fitness and generation of financial support that would provide a walking/running track for our students and community. Bells were distributed to attach to all participants’ shoe laces to create a “ringing of the bells” to celebrate Marlee’s life and to promote the importance of fitness. All current WFES students participating receive a sun shaped shoe token in honor of Marlee.
Students helped to raise funds by contacting sponsors to contribute a flat donation in an effort to reach our financial goal to build a track around our outdoor fields. Currently, students walk/run on a muddy and unstable path around the grassy field. We estimate the cost of the track to be $47K and have raised $20K so far. We believe with your help sponsoring our “WOLF” Jingle Jog event and with some corporate and grant support, we can achieve our goal.
To make an online donation to the Jingle Jog, visit our PTA's Pay For School Stuff Online site to make a donation. Thank You for Your Support!!
