Why a Jog-a-thon?
The PTA is allowed ONE fundraiser per year! We need parent’s participation in our one fundraiser or we have to cut out certain programs/benefits to the students for the rest of the year. IF we meet our goal this year, PTA will pay for the busing/transportation costs for field trips through out the year for our school and PTA will also give each student a FREE t-shirt. If we don’t meet our fundraising goal, our funding for other programming such as Reflections, Field Day, and Teacher Appreciation also declines. We really need your help.
Our goal is $15,000! What you can do:
We wish to extend an invitation to family and friends to join us in helping raise funds for field trips, and other fun and educational activities and programming here at school. Each participant will raise funds by asking family and friends to give flat donations to help support our school. We are asking for a minimum donation of $10 per student or $25 per family. Our school goal is $15,000 with 1140 students at our school which means we need as much as you can give!
How it works:
Students and classes will also have an opportunity to earn prizes and awards based on their participation in the Jog-a-thon. The goal for Kindergarten-3rd grade is 1 mile. The goal for 4th-6th grade is 2 miles. Training for this goal is needed at home and through other extra-curricular activities.
The envelope with the attached form is due on the day of your student's Jog-A-Thon. Please include all donations and information in your student's envelope. Please do not return the envelope until the day of the Jog-A-Thon. We will announce winners on Tuesday, November 10th after all tracks have participated.
