O'Hara's Jog-A-Thon is May 3-7, and we can't wait!
 
Please read below for details and updates!
JAT WEEK: LOGISTICS

O'Hara's 2021 Jog-A-Thon will be held the week of May 3 - 7. Holding a week-long event, rather than a one-day event, will allow us to ensure we adhere to all Covid-related guidelines.

  • Each cohort will participate during one of their PE classes that week. Students will have approximately 20-30 minutes of running time. (Schedule coming soon!)
  • Parent spectators will not be permitted on campus for this year's JAT events.
  • JAT T-shirts will be provided for all students; students can wear their JAT T-shirt with running attire on their JAT day (Specifics forthcoming.)
  • Make sure you register your student(s) with Pledgestar (Instructions below) and choose a t-shirt size.
  • As always, students who wish to walk rather than run are welcome to do so.
MIDDLE SCHOOL COLOR BLAST: DATE TBD

Our current plan is to hold the Color Blast for the Middle School at the end of the school year. Our hope is that guidelines and regulations will be more relaxed at that time and allow all Middle School students to participate either in cohorts by grade or as one group. Middle School students must attend and participate in the Jog-A-Thon in order to participate in the Color Blast.

OUR GOAL: PLEASE JOIN US!

This year, we have raised our per-student fundraising goal to $150. The Jog-A-Thon is our only student-led fundraiser. Funds raised from the Jog-A-Thon help bridge the gap between our operating cost and tuition cost.

EARLY BIRD INCENTIVE

Students that meet their $150 goal by 3PM on Tuesday, March 30 will be entered to win a $100 Visa gift card! The Early Bird Incentive Winner will be drawn at our Jog-A-Thon Kick-off Zoom on Tuesday, April 6.

"Rejoice in the Lord always. I shall say it again: rejoice! Your kindness should be known to all. The Lord is near. Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God. Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus."
