THANK YOU EVERYONE 
for another successful
JOG-A-THON!
Together, we raised more than $50,000! That surpasses our goal of $40,000. 
High Five on a job well done!

Because we did such an awesome job with  fundraising,  you know what that means...

We get to:
  • Cover staff and teachers in silly string!
  • Have teacher relay races!
  • Throw water balloons at staff and teachers!
  • Have a teacher dance-off!
  • Vote on costumes for Dr. Watkins and Mrs. McCauley to wear for the Jog-a-thon assembly! (Date TBD)
Congratulations to all the classrooms 
that reached incentive levels for a variety of prizes! 
Remember, the class at each grade level that ran the most laps will be invited to an ice cream party 
on March 6th. 
Stay tuned for the winners!

Thank you to our amazing team of volunteers for making this event happen!
Special thanks goes to:
Kacy Hayes, Katie Rich, Denise Cooper and Melissa Culver

We appreciate you!

We also thank our sponsors: 
Vulcan Materials Company and Evian.
