All For One Fun Run kickoff is October 1st!
Pledging is open. Refer to the note sent home for pledging instructions.
Parents and Families—this year’s main fundraiser is the
All For One Fun Run
! It’s a two-week program that kicks off with a Pep Rally on Tuesday, October 1st. Families will then gather pledges for every lap your student runs or walks at the All For One Fun Run, which will happen on Wednesday, October 9th. This year our goal is to raise $30,000 for Educational Enrichment and to strengthen our school community, and we need your help! We’ve asked the experts at Booster to power our fundraiser to make it easier, more profitable, and more fun.
Students will also experience an amazing character theme, MINDSPARK: WILD WEST! Booster’s most exciting theme yet combines S.T.E.A.M. skills (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) with character-building.
Parents and Families: Looking for the EASIEST and BEST way to ask for a #Boosterthon pledge? Create a video starring your child to support our school! Register your student on
FUNRUN.COM
and upload a picture to make a personal video. Share it with friends + family. School Registration Code 857-943.
We are looking for volunteers to help hand out water and mark laps on the day of the event.
