All For One Fun Run kickoff is October 1st!
Pledging opens Tuesday, September 24th. 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.
Please go to
www.Boosterthon.com
website for more information on this one of a kind program coming to our school. We are very excited and thank you for your support of our students.
