Ms. Walsh's 6th Grade Math

On or around March 13th, your child will be shown a 10 minute DVD about the math-a-thon fundraiser for St. Jude’s Hospital.

For every $1 raised, St. Jude’s Hospital uses 85 cents directly for research or medical care.

If you have a child with cancer, you can contact St. Jude’s Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee.

St. Jude’s Hospital will arrange transportation for you to Memphis, housing through a Ronald McDonald or Target House, and provide food vouchers.
Your child will be treated and the expenses will be taken care of free-of-charge.

This is a wonderful service for families who face the stress and financial hardship that comes with having a child with a potentially fatal diagnosis of cancer.

After watching the video, your child will be given a sponsor form. If you choose to have your child participate, sign the form.

Your child will then receive a math book to complete or they can complete math problems online.

Your child may raise funds on a basis of participating, completing problems, or answering questions correctly.

ALL funds of any amount help this cause. If it is something you’d like to know more about look at http://mathathon.org for more information. The fundraiser lasts two weeks.

Thank you.
