Walk for Life


On Friday May 2, Pleasantview students will be walking in honor of all those we have known and loved who have battled cancer.  The Walk for Life is the school's version of the Relay for Life that goes on in this area in June.  We want all the students to understand the importance of having a worthy cause to fight for and understand that no matter how young they are, EVERYONE can make a difference. We would love for you and your family to come out and walk with your child on May 2nd. Please do not bring any pets.  Please send back your child's fundraising bottle by May 2nd!!


Our class will be walking at 10:40 AM.


Students and staff are asked to wear the following colors on May 3rd in support of certain kinds of cancer.  

Kindergarten - Pink for Breast Cancer or White for Lung Cancer
First Grade - Yellow for Bladder and Bone Cancer
Second Grade - Orange for Leukemia and Kindney Cancer
Third Grade - Green for Liver Cancer
Fourth Grade - Black for Melanoma Cancer
Fifth Grade - Blue for Colon Cancer

We look forward to having you join us on Friday, May 2nd.
