[FONT=&amp]The purpose of our signature event is two-fold:[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]1) To raise monies for support of the Technology Department and investment in additional Apple iPods for every student to use as an interactive learning tool with teachers. Below are a few of the key ways students currently use iPods as a valuable technology to ignite their learning each day in class: [/FONT]
~[FONT=&amp]Electronic testing-students take tests on iPods[/FONT]
~[FONT=&amp]Web research - teachers can download specific educational apps for their classes and different content needs[/FONT]
~[FONT=&amp]Digital portfolios - students create digital cloud-based portfolios to view anywhere[/FONT]
~[FONT=&amp]Formative assessment - students use iPods as a response pad during lessons [/FONT]

[FONT=&amp]2) ECMS has grown to a student body of 700 students who all live in South Walton. ECMS wants to involve families in a meaningful event that links them to the community.[/FONT]

Love this photo from 2013 race- thank you Cocoa Lainey! See the FB page for more of her great images from the race- especially what the runners look like after they get all loaded up with color during the race!

Also many many thanks to platinum sponsor Runnels Orthodontics- always such great supporters of Walton County students and the community. Several sponsorship levels are available - you can go to the FB page, or email Jessica D'Aleo jdaleo@cox.net or Jenny Dargavell jdarg@embarqmail.com for info and forms!

It's almost here........and if you want to run AND get the cool tshirt, you need to register by THIS Friday, 4/18. We might have a few extras for late registrations, but we can't guarantee sizes or quantities, so sign up today!

LOCAL BUSINESSES- we would LOVE to have more sponsors- our success in fundraising for the ECMS technology needs depends on the support of the South Walton business community. There are 700+ kids at ECMS- that is a LOT of families that will appreciate your generosity. Please consider supporting the school that has it all- great teachers and staff, so many sports and activities (football, basketball, baseball, softball, volleyball, cross country, tennis, cheerleading, track, dance, Beta Club, Academic team, history team, and more), and a fantastic facility that needs community support to maintain it (and the technology). It's not too late to support Emerald Coast Middle School by being a sponsor for the Fun Run!
