Hello, my name is Michael Barton.  I am a teacher here at Grace Christian School, and I am asking my friends and family to join me and my class this year for our annual Sports-A-Thon fundraiser!

As many of you know, I love teaching, and as the 12th Grade homeroom teacher I am excited to be a team leader.  This year's fundraiser will go help more students attend Grace Christian school. The GCS Sports-A-Thon Fundraising Challenge is the one fundraising event all our students participate in and its tons of fun!!  The proceeds go to support the mission of Grace Christian School which includes the future construction of the Robert R. Gustafson Center.  This facility will be home to 12 classrooms, two lecture auditoriums, a new gymnasium, locker rooms, concessions, and administrative offices.  

Here are my team’s goals:

• Each student has a $ 400 goal!  Each student who can accomplish this goal will be rewarded with a free trip to Sea World. 
• My Class has a $ 10,000 goal!  If we can accomplish our goal, my whole class will all be rewarded with A DAY OFF from school.
• The Class that raises the most money will have a special plaque honoring them in the new Robert R. Gustafson Center.

Please help me and my class reach our goals and thank you for your support!
