Spring Fundraiser
Boosterthon
We are excited to announce that we are once again partnering with Boosterthon for our main
PTO fundraiser of the school year—the Boosterthon Fun Run!
The Boosterthon Fun Run is a healthy alternative to traditional product sales fundraisers.
This years theme is Highway USA, the eight day program promotes fitness, leadership and
character.
Last year an amazing total of over $25,000 was raised to build an outdoor classroom. Although,
we’ve hit some snags on the way, plans are moving forward and we are confident that
our outdoor classroom will be completed this spring.
For this year, Principal Bruce has requested funds for much needed technology and upgrades
including laptops, software, iPads, digital cameras, projectors and more. Like last year, 10%
of the first collection will go directly to the classroom teachers.
Thank you for being such a wonderful group of parents! The investment you make in the lives
of our students and our school is noticed and appreciated. We look forward to seeing you at
the Boosterthon Fun Run!
