COBB WELLNESS WALK AND HEALTH FAIR The goal of the Wellness Walk and Health Fair is to increase public awareness of community health and wellness programs, while encouraging a healthy active lifestyle in fitness and recreation. The walk and health fair are free. Anyone in the Big Shanty community interested in donating to the wellness fund should make their check out to Big Shanty Elementary and write track in the memo spot. Any donations to the wellness walk will help in our efforts to resurface our track.
BIG SHANTY TRACK NEWS Many of you are aware that Big Shanty Elementary is blessed with a track that is located behind the gym. This track was built in 1990. Last year the Big Shanty student council asked each homeroom what they felt the proceeds from the used book sale should benefit. The Big Shanty students asked to fix the track. The track needs resurfacing. This resurfacing will cost approximately $15,000. We are already $4,000 on our way thanks to the proceeds from the used book sale and donations from P.T.A. and Kennesaw Business Association. Family, individual, and business donations are being accepted at any time. If you would like to donate to the track fund please make a check out to Big Shanty Elementary and in the memo blank write track. We hope to accomplish this goal by the end of this school year.
