Pre-Balto was designed with the Elementary and Middle School kids in mind. It is the week previous to B.A.L.T.O and we have many events planned depending on what the school is willing to do. At the Elementary Schools we hope to do: T-shirt sales, pom/cheer clinic, 4 on 4 Basketball, Movie Night, a Carnival, Valentine sales, penny wars, and new this year, we are hoping to do a video game night. At the Middle Schools we hope to do: T-shirt, candy, pizza and Jamba Juice sales. Also this year we are hoping to do dances to get the kids more involved.

Elementary:

Pom/cheer clinic: Any girl third through fifth grade gets together and learns a dance to perform at half time at one of the North Basketball games. The clinic is led by the Edmond North pom and cheer girls.

4 on 4 Basketball:

Kids get a 4 player team together on their own and play their other school mates on a designated Saturday. They play in a bracket and the winning team will be announced during half time of a North basketball game.

Movie Night:

A chance for the parents to get rid of the kids for a couple of hours and put them off on our Stuco class. They get to enjoy a popular PG movie, popcorn, and a drink.

Carnival:

Thurs. Jan. 31st - PM (Siberian Gym)
Friends and family are invited to a carnival put on by Edmond North’s Stuco and our chosen Balto Candidates. There are inflatable toys, cotton candy and all the other things you would expect at a carnival.

Video Game Night:

We get some of the video game shops to donate game systems for the night and the kids will be able to play certain games that will be chosen by kids of that age group. We hope this will be a big success. (Probably going to be for the 4th and 5th graders only)

Middle Schools:

T-shirts will be pre-sold at Cheyenne Middle School and Sequoyah Middle School
