FRIDAY, September 26th
our biggest fundraiser of the year!
We are excited to kick-off the 16th Annual Bear Run. Money raised goes to support annual events, field trips, curriculum upgrades, and so much more!
​
Students can participate by asking family and friends to sponsor them while they walk/jog as many laps as they can in 15 minutes (10 minutes for preschool-1st). Our goal is to raise $25,000 for our school.
All donations are due by Thursday, September 25th!
​
We’re using the online donation platform 99 Pledges this year. This is a secure and simple way to collect donations. Every student will have their own participant page and they can track their fundraising! ​
Remember donations are tax deductible. This is a flat donation event, NOT a per lap pledge.
​
We welcome you and your family to join in on the fun on September 26th. Signs and cheering are highly encouraged!!
