Support Our Socrates Family
The Annual Fund Campaign is our primary opportunity for families to participate in the continued success of our school by helping to bridge the gap left by state and local funding. Your gift supports existing educational programs, new curriculum development, improves facilities, and essential needs of our school.
Socrates Academy Families! We have surpassed our goal of $25,000, but we are not stopping there! Help us meet our stretch goal of $35,000! Thanks to those of you who have registered and donated so far!
Remember to log in TONIGHT to register your student and share your donation link. TONIGHT, the class with the most new pledges gets to Polar Plunge the Booster Team at the Fun Run this Friday!

REGISTER FOR THE BIG SOUTH 5K TODAY!

We are glad to announce that this year’s Big South 5K Road Race will be held on Saturday, October 30th! Each year, the Big South Conference donates 100% of our proceeds to support your middle school athletic programs in the Mecklenburg, Union, and York counties. Hosted as a virtual event last year, we are glad to announce that this year's race will be held IN-PERSON with a virtual option for any participants who are not local or feel most comfortable racing within the comfort of their own communities!

This year’s entry fees feature the following items:
* 5K Race T-Shirt
* Race Bib
* Race Bag with lots of promotional items!
* Finishers Medals for the top age group winners!

As part of the Charlotte Team sign-up, a “middle school affiliation” option is available, and when a middle school is selected, proceeds from the participant’s registration fee will be sent to your middle school’s athletic booster club! Your middle school receives a percentage of the proceeds based on the number of participants that register with your program.
 
In past events, your middle school has shown great numbers and we look forward
