THIS FRIDAY!
COUGAR RUN
We are excited for the Kincaid Foundation’s largest fundraiser of the year! Each student received a fundraising packet and with directions to share their very own safe and secure Cougar Run donation webpage with 10 people. Students will gather donations for the laps they will run. Sponsors may pay their donation online before the event.
Students will run a guaranteed 30 laps, so the average donation is $1 per lap or $30.
Because this fun run is nonprofit, Kincaid keeps 100% of every $$$ donated!
Every student participates in daily motivations, class rewards and Cougar Run regardless of donations raised.

WRITE A “CONVINCE ME” LETTER
Writing isn’t just about telling stories or reporting on books. There are many ways your child can use words, including trying to convince others to agree with her. You can help her practice this type of writing by letting her argue with you—in writing!
Choose a topic you don’t agree on, such as allowance or bedtime. Have your child write you a letter trying to convince you to change your mind. The catch? She has to use facts, quotes and logic to back up her argument.
