It provides the families of Loma Portal the opportunity to directly contribute to their students
enrichment with grade specific fieldtrips and assemblies, school wide author assemblies, music,
and other direct classroom support. Children (along with their parents) procure sponsors,
then run or walk laps on the playground. After the tallies are in, prizes are given to those who
ran/walked the most laps and those who raised the most money.
This is a fun and healthy opportunity-look in your Tuesday packet in early spring for more
