OCT 22: FUN RUN Updates -- Pledge Pages & More!
|
Picnic & Food @ Fun Run
Rain or shine, help us as we work to make this event as green and earth friendly as possible by packing in and packing out your own family picnic. If you don't feel like packing a picnic, you should be able to find something for everyone available for purchase. Alongside the fantastic sweet baked treat sale, we will be selling more savory items including hot dogs and pizza, veggies with hummus and fruit. Starting at 10am, there will also be a pancake breakfast with coffee. We are excited to announce that once again, all supplies will be biodegradable!
We need volunteers!
Volunteers make this program a success. There are lots of volunteer opportunities for Fun Run still available, so please click here to sign up.
Don't forget to register! It's free and it's how you raise pledges for your student's run!
Register and begin fundraising for Miraloma with your little runners! Log onto our Walkstarter page to create an individual fundraising page for your child to share with family and friends. Over 70% of the funds raised at Fun Run come from small family/friend donations. These funds help keep great programs like P.E., snack, and Art funded. No donation is too small!
Gedalia Braverman and
Sarah
Mattison-Earls
Editor's note: In my family, we didn't think we would be able to raise too much with the Walkstarter campaign. So I reluctantly made a page for my child, hoping we'd get maybe 50 bucks. To date, we've earned more than $300! Give it a go.

School Site Council (SSC) Election Results
|
Congratulations to Liz Hamel and Meghan Wallace on winning this year's SSC election. It was a hard fought campaign season with mudslinging, many nasty attack ads, and the most money ever spent on a SSC election. Just kidding!
On a more serious note. Thanks to all the nominees; we really appreciate your interest, and we hope that all of you join our SSC as alternates. Finally, please note that all SSC meetings are open to the community. All are welcome.
