Walnut24 has ended for 2012 but...

... you can still make a donation. Click the "Make a Donation" button at left and help keep our advisers, band leaders and coaches (the ABCs.) These are people who give our students that little "extra" that makes being a Walnut student great.

Final numbers have not been tabulated but we do know it is down from last year and certainly far from our goal. Which means another source of income will be needed if we want to keep our ABCs. You can help with a small or large contribution right now.

Thank you

Another way to support the cause, buy photos from the event. All proceeds from the sale of phots, linked below, will be donated to Walnut24. Thanks to Scott Tengen for spending the 14 hours photographing and donating the prophets.

Link to Photos is HERE

Online registration has ended but...

Countdown to Walnut24

Students and Parents: There are only 6 days until Walnut24. Lots going on in those six days. We're giving away Chipotle gift cards on our Facebook page but you have to "Like" it and respond to the challenges.

Pre-registration ends in 3 days and there are new groups being formed everyday. Have you registered and joined a group? You can do that HERE.

Parents we still need LOTS of people to help run the games. All we ask is that you help for an hour. All volunteers get in free and are welcome to stick around the rest of the day and watch the fun. Sign up for a shift HERE.

Students, remember this is a fundraiser that helps over 200 programs at Walnut Hills HS. Please ask your neighbors, relatives and even parents coworkers if they will sponsor you. $1 here. $3 there. It all adds up! If you need a donation form, you can download one HERE.

Do I join a Team or a Group?

Since Walnut24 is now going to be a series of games, you may wonder if you need to be part of a team or a group or what the difference is.

GROUPS
A group can be two people or as many as 200 people. It can be you and your best friend, a group of close friends, a club, a team or everyone who plays a certain sport. It can be anyone. If you and your friends want to hang together and participate in the different games, then you should form a group. Click HERE to do that right now.

TEAMS
For the purpose of keeping scores on all the games, we are combining groups and individual competitors into teams: MEGA Teams. There will be eight MegaTeams distinguished by eight colors. Walnut24 organizers will put everyone into teams so that they are all roughly the same size. When your group competes in any game, you will be trying to win and the winning groups get prizes. Everyone who competes also earns points for the MegaTeam that they are on -- more points awarded if you win but points will be awarded for all who compete. The Team with the highest point total at the end of the night will win prizes, too.

So what's the next step?
Take a look at the groups that have signed up already by clicking HERE.

OK, now that your group is formed, you need to SIGN UP to get into the games. Then contact your friends and get them to sigh up and pick the right group on the registration form.

What it is and What it isn't

Sept 20: Last day to pre-order W24 shirt 

The third annual Walnut24 is about two weeks away. New students may be wondering what it is and veteran students may wonder what it has become.

First, it is and always will be a fundraiser. Walnut24 raises money to pay for advisors and coaches that lead our 90+ athletic teams, over 60 clubs, marching band, and theater productions. If this money isn't raised, those type of activities will end. So, yes, it's important.
Walnut24 tasks the students with going out to get this money by asking for donations from friends, neighbors, aunts and uncles, even your parents co-workers. One dollar here, five dollars there. It all adds up.

Secondly, Walnut24 has become a day of fun, a field day. 24 games will
take place over 12 hours. Students compete in small groups for prizes
and points.
The morning starts off with a 2.4-mile run or walk around the Walnut campus. A new game starts up every 30 minutes thereafter. Games run gamut from athletic (relay races, tug o war and obstacle course) to laid back (corn hole and bocce) to brain-challenging (Rubik's Cube, jigsaw puzzles and Pictionary). Students, with their friends, choose which games they want to compete in throughout the day. Compete in one or two or attempt to compete in all 24.

Afterward, there will be a two-hour party on the football field featuring live Walnut bands, Haze and Social Rejects Club. We'll make announcements of the winning teams and competitors between songs and sets.

Step one is to GET REGISTERED. There is a $25 minimum to register or a $35 minimum to register if you want a Walnut T-shirt. T-shirts are limited edition and you need to register by Sept 20 to secure your size. Other wise you will have to choose from sizes that are left.

Step two is to start COLLECTING DONATIONS. there is only two weeks left and we have a long way to go. LET'S GET STARTED!
