Parent Announcement - Jog-a-thon
The Jog-a-thon is our schoolâs major fundraiser, so we need the parents & friends of our school to get involved and support our students!
What is a Jog-a-thon? The Jog-a-thon is our school's largest fundraiser in which families, friends, and neighbors pledge money to support the students as they participate in the Jog-a-thon. Each lap is tallied as students jog (or walk, skip, run, etc.) during a set time period. All students will participate as a part of their regular physical fitness program.
Why are we having a Jog-a-thon? Our PTA provides many fantastic programs for our students like Art, Assemblies, Family Nights, Lunch Time Activities, Reading Counts, Worldâs Fair, and more! Â In order to continue providing these programs, our goal is to raise at least $30,000, but ANY donation is welcome! Â If every child raises $50, we can reach our goal and more! Â ALL of the money raised will go directly into PTA-sponsored programs that enrich our studentsâ experiences.
How do we raise money? Â In the next few weeks, each student can obtain pledges in support of his/her Jog-a-thon efforts. Â Pledges can be made as a one time donation, or on a per lap basis. Â Please help your child collect pledges through your childâs webpage. Â You can email family, relatives, friends, co-workers, etc. for support right from the webpage. Â Posting on social media is another option! Â No time to ask for pledges? Â You can make a donation instead! Please keep in mind that we can meet our school goal if each child raises $50.
