Walnut24, the largest student fundraiser at WHHS will return on Oct 26 and 27 this year.
Why is this fundraiser important?The Walnut24 supports the fund that pays the advisors for all the clubs, organizations and sports programs that Walnut Hills has.
No advisors: No Clubs.
What the students do inside the classroom is important. What they do outside of class also prepares them for the world. A well-rounded education and students who are prepared to lead.
This is what makes Walnut Hills one of the top high schools in the country.
Walnut 24 will be similar to last years event, kicking off with 24 games -- competitions by students -- for a fun and exciting afternoon. Game start at noon and go thru 6:00 pm. One change is the format of the games. Instead of a new game starting every 30 minutes, the 2013 edition will have 12 games starting at 12 noon. Students will make the rounds to play these games in any order they wish. At 3:00 the first 12 games will end and a second round of 12 different games begin with the same play format.
Scores will be tallied for each group of students competing at a time. and every student who competes in all 24 games will be entered into a prize drawing at the end of the day.
Teams will be divided by grade (grades 7 thru 12) each with their own class-chosen color so you can even dress the part before arriving. The Team/Grade that wins the most overall point from all of the games will also be honored.
At 6 pm , the games end and a dance party kicks in on the field mezzanine.
The evening ends at 11 pm when Juniors and Seniors have the opportunity for an overnight Lock-In event in the school gymnasium and swimming pool. More details to be announced soon.
PARENTS: As always for Walnut24, the kids are having fun but we need you to volunteer and help make this happen. Please consider donating a few hours of your time. You are guaranteed to have as much fun as the kids!
A student-led fundraiser to raise money for club advisors, coaches and extra-curricular activities.
