LMS’ Fundraiser Selects Its FirstLogo Contest Winner and Gears Up For ItsFUNd Run/Walk That Raised Over $3800

 Woodbury, MN May 16, 2011: The full twelve hundred students will participate in

Lake Middle School’s first FUNd Run/Walk on Friday, May 20, 2011. Marked as

 both a fundraiser for LMS’ PTA and to promote a healthy lifestyle, this event has

 become a school-wide activity.

“We jump-started the FUNd Run/Walk with a logo contest. The FUNd Run/Walk 

Committee received a great response to its first logo contest. There were many 

creative entries by every grade level in our building. Unfortunately, we could only 

select one design,” said Karen Sieffert, the logo contest organizer. “The

committee selected 6th grader Zarah Mamun's logo as the winner of Lake Middle

School's FUNd Run/Walk Logo Contest. Zarah's logo will appear on t-shirts and

promotional material for the FUNd Run/Walk,” she continued.

The designs of Felix Oh, a sixth grader, was selected as first runner up and

Brittney Hassinger and Cassie Hanson, both sixth graders, were selected as

second runner up. An exhibit of the logo entries are displayed in the commons

area of Lake Middle School and are posted on the school’s website at

 www.sowashco.k12.mn.us/lake.

For Immediate Release 8 a.m. CST, May 16, 2011

“We are so proud of our students, “says Cheryle Carter, event organizer. “It was

 because of them that we raised over $3800. They had two weeks to do it. We

received donations as small as $5 and as large as $250. For those who were not

able to contribute or did not want to participate in the fundraiser, they have the

opportunity to win prizes like the students who raised funds simply by finishing

the walk or run. All students are winners by crossing the finishing line. It doesn’t

matter if they walked, ran or jogged it,” she continued.

The FUNd Run/Walk Committee reached out to the community to find prizes for

students who completed the walk/run and raised funds for the PTA. We would

like to thank the following companies for their donations to the FUNd Run/Walk:

  Arrowhead Resort and Conference Center Afton Alps

Henseler Orthodontics Wooddale Fun Zone

Great Harvest Bread Company, Woodbury Radiance MedSpa

3M Waterpark of America

  Anytime Fitness (Woodbury) Sam's Club
