Husky Hustle Fun Run Fundraiser
"We're excited to introduce this year's main fundraiser, the Husky Hustle Fun Run. Our goal this year is to raise $18,000 for School Enrichment Opportunities for the Students and School Community Programming to benefit ALL students at Clearspring Elementary.
We’re excited for this fundraising experience because it offers 3 important things to our school community:
1️⃣ User-friendly fundraising platform
2️⃣ Character enrichment program
3️⃣ Fitness-focused event that includes ALL of our students
As a family, you will work together asking friends and family to donate on your student’s Donation Page at MyBooster.com. The best part is, you can still support our school just by SHARING about the fundraiser!
Students will also experience an amazing character enrichment program called “Castle Quest”, teaching students about how to be brave and live with character.
