Fun Run Update
We wanted to remind you about the Truckin’ Tigers Fun Run on Wednesday, and let you know about a special challenge for this weekend! THIS WEEKEND, students can get pledges and earn the regular prizes (which you can see on funrun.com) and also are able to earn a bonus prize! If a student gets $2/lap (or the equivalent flat donation of $60) or more in pledges this weekend, then s/he will also earn the javelin challenge kit, which contains 3 inflatable, high-flying javelins! In addition, the top pledging class over the weekend will earn a DANCE PARTY with the Boosterthon team! We are only a third of the way to our goal -- let’s get pledges this weekend to help our school reach our goal of $15,000! Please also come watch and cheer at the Fun Run on Wednesday! Grades 1 and 2 will run from 12:30-1:30 and grades 3-5 will run from 1:30-2:30 at the track behind the Elma Roane Field House on Wednesday, Dec. 6. Thank you for your support.
