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!
