Your awesome efforts last year resulted in more than $60,000 in additional funds for all of LACHSA’s art departments.  Our goal is to double that amount in 2012, to $120,000, and with your help we believe we can do it!

HOW TO PREPARE FOR THE LACHSA WALK FOR THE ARTS

 

Instructions for Students

 

How to Prepare – the Morning of the Walk

  • Go to bed early on the evening before the Walk.
  • Eat a good breakfast the morning of the Walk, including an 8 oz. glass of water, juice, or milk so that you come to the Walk hydrated and energized.
  • Make sure to use the restrooms before the Walk begins.  (There will be restroom stops positioned along the route of the Walk.)

 

What to Wear Day of Walk

  • All students are asked to wear their LACHSA black T-shirts.  If you don’t own one, you can purchase it beforehand on the morning of the walk.  If not, wear your PE shirt or a black T-shirt.  The point is, we want a unified look of solidarity!
  • Dress comfortably, in shoes that will tolerate walking for two hours.  We’re hoping for cool overcast weather, but wear sunscreen nevertheless, and a hat.

 

What to Bring Day of Walk

  • Bring your Collection Envelopes with checks, cash, and the pledge drive forms and hand them in to your first-period teacher on Friday.
  • Bring a bottle of water!  This is important.  Additional bottles of water (and energy bars) will be supplied half way through the walk.  We’re recycling all the empty bottles.

 

End of Walk Lunch Party

  • Either bring a bagged lunch, which you can leave in front of the Main Office at the Volunteer tables before you go to your 1st period classroom, or bring some money (around $10) so you can purchase food from one of the gourmet food trucks.
  • Lunch will be held near the basketball courts and you’ll be guided there at the end of the Walk.  Several LACHSA student bands will perform.
  • Art classes will take place beginning at 2:10 p.m.

 

What Not to Bring Day of Walk

  • No electronics allowed during the Walk (that means NO iPods, No cell phones). 

 

All Students are required to participate in walking unless you bring in a note by Thursday, signed by your parent explaining why you cannot walk.  If you can’t walk, you’ll be assigned to a volunteer post.  A huge thank you for all your efforts in helping to raise funds for LACHSA’s arts programs!  Most importantly, have fun on Friday!

 

A number of LA's yummiest Gourmet Food Trucks are coming to LACHSA on Friday, November 9th during our lunch party to celebrate the 2012 LACHSA Walk for the Arts.  They'll be here from 12:15 until 2 p.m. and will have some delicious food items available for purchase.  So walk and build up an appetite!  A percentage of their sales will go towards our walk-a-thon!

 

  • Border Grill
  • Frysmith 
  • Get Shaved Ice
  • Grilled Cheese Truck
  • Jamba Juice
  • Komodo
  • Rounds Burger Truck
  • Sweet E's


And, if you don't want to spend the money, bring lunch from home and join the party!  There will be some great live student bands as well!!!
