Friday, September 22
Mark your calendars! The school Jog-a-thon, our Fall fundraiser, is scheduled for Friday, September 22. Children will be encouraged to get sponsors to support them during this event as they run for 15 minutes with their peers in an effort to raise $30,000 to support classroom enrichment, the art program, the garden program, assemblies, field trips and more.
We are excited to use an online platform 99Pledges again this year. You can reach out to friends and family by email, Facebook, and Twitter, instead of going door-to-door, tracking commitments, and handling checks. Please make a donation for whatever amount you can, and share your participant's link with friends and family. We are shooting for 100% participation and no amount is too small.
To donate, click on the link below and search for your child’s pledge page or donate to the general fund.
Cheer on the Kids!
Parents are encouraged to come cheer children on while they run on Friday September 22! The courses will be set up behind Jeff Mitchell Field (the baseball area behind the school). Students will run the course with the other students in their grade:

We are also looking for volunteers to either donate popsicles and/or disposable cups for the event or to work the event (tallying laps, serving water, etc.). If you are able to donate and/or volunteer, please sign up HERE.
