Our band does a fantastic job of providing opportunities for the students to fund raise for their band fees and this year for their big trip to Texas.
Madison chose to participate in the 2nd annual Rockathon.
She gathered her sponsors (THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!!), collected her funds, loaded up her rocking chair and headed to complete the 12 hour adventure.
Madison arrived at school at 7pm Friday night (after a full day of school and home for a quick dinner)
She turned in her funds and selected her spot.
It wasn't all rocking but it sure was a lot of fun...
Playing Mario Kart on the Nintendo Switch
And even a mid evening selfie for Momma
Then at 6:30 Saturday morning Daddy picked her up.
With the Rockathon complete she could finally sleep...
at least for 2 hours before she had to be up and ready to return to school for mini band camp (10am-5pm).
Madison survived the practice (with a little bit of sunburn) and was home and in bed by 7pm.
We are so proud of her and her willingness to try new things, make friends, and put in the hard work necessary (even when your tired).
Her efforts were worth it and she raised the ENTIRE amount necessary to fund her trip to Texas this year and a bit extra toward her band fees.
I am not sure if there will be Rockathons in her future but the memories will last a lifetime.
