On August 25, 2017, Aransas County Independent School was Ground Zero for
Hurricane Harvey. To assist the district
in its rebuilding LYS announced the PowerWalks Hurricane Relief Challenge
which was supposed to run from August 25 to September 30, 2018. And the LYS
Nation stepped up!
Then
Hurricanes Irma and Maria ransacked Florida and Puerto Rico. So, LYS extended
the PowerWalks
Hurricane Relief Challenge through October 31, 2018. And the LYS Nation
stepped up!
But in
October the extent of the devastation that occurred in both Puerto Rico and the
U.S. Virgin Islands due to the hurricanes was revealed. So, LYS announced that
the PowerWalks
Hurricane Relief Challenge would be extended through December 22, 2018. And the nickels keep adding up. Here are the current donation totals:
August
2017: 5,211 PowerWalks classroom visits, generating a donation of $300.00
September
2017: 39,135 PowerWalks classroom visits, generating a donation of $2,000.00
October
2017: 49,222 PowerWalks classroom visits, generating a donation of $2,500.00
November
2017 (in progress): 16,145 PowerWalks classroom visits generating
a donation of $807.25
So far,
the running totals for the PowerWalks Hurricane Relief Challenge
are 109,983 visits for a current donation of $5,607.25
As proof
that the LYS Nation is going above and beyond to meet this challenge, we’ll
share some historical numbers. From
August 25, 2016 to November 10, 2016 there were 54,741 classroom observations
that no other group of schools can match. Unless the comparison group is made
up of motivated LYSers.
Because
LYS Nation, from August 25, 2017 to November 10, 2017 you have now conducted 109,983 PowerWalks! Don’t stop now!
Keep
Stepping Up!
Think.
Work. Achieve.
