The Joanne Benton
WEF Walk
In honor of the late Joanne Benton, former Superintendent
of Schools, we have decided to officially rename the WEF Walk after Mrs.
Benton. She created this fundraising event which has become a tradition in our schools.
The walk reinforces the Wilmington Public School’s belief in physical activity,
healthy eating, nutrition and physical education for all students’ academic
success.
What is WEF? The Wilmington Educational Foundation is
a non-profit organization committed to supporting innovation and excellence in
the Wilmington Public Schools. Our goal is to enhance and increase educational
opportunities for all Wilmington students by providing funds for innovative
programs that are not otherwise funded through the school budget.
This K- 5 fitness walk has become the largest
fundraiser supporting WEF and the many grant programs WEF offers every year. One
half of the funds raised at each school will be given back to the school in the
form of a School Grant in order to fulfill the needs and wishes of the school.
Students are encouraged to ask family and friends to
sponsor them in this walk. They are
invited to wear Halloween costumes, favorite sports team shirts, or orange and
black colors for the walk. Each
school will conduct the walk on Tuesday, October 31st.
The fitness walk rain date will be Friday November 3,
2017.
On the reverse side of this form is the sponsor sheet
each student should use and return with funds prior to the Walk on Monday,
October 30th. You can also make an online donation here: http://www.wilmingtonedfoundation.org/volunteerdonate.html.

Educational Foundation’s site: http://www.wilmingtonedfoundation.org.
