Fox Trot is Tuesday, 10/1/24
We’re excited to hold the annual Fox Trot on Tuesday, October 1st. Our foxes will run laps on the field to raise money for our school while getting their hearts pumping and having fun. Our goal is to raise $50,000 this year!
- Funds from the Inspire Fox Trot will be used to support curriculum and staff, making exciting learning experiences possible across the school. Funds support the equivalent of one full-time paraprofessional at the school; a vital role that enhances safety and supervision during recess and lunch, supports small group instruction and assists in implementing IEP accommodations, ensuring students with special needs receive the appropriate support during tests and other activities. By extending the teacher's efforts, paraprofessionals play a key role in creating a more inclusive and effective learning environment.
- In addition to this, funds raised also support our long-term relationship with SustainEd Farms. With this curriculum, we give all students a chance to work with the goats, chickens, and garden on campus.
- Please help us reach our fundraising goal by supporting our jog-a-thon. Complete these 5 easy steps!
1. Register or re-LogIn on Get Movin’© FundHub and create your child's fundraising page.
2. Email/text your child's fundraising page to 10-15 friends and family.
3. Post on social media: it's fun to see who ends up donating!
4. Volunteer for the event! Sign up here.
5. Mark the date on your calendar and come cheer your foxes on the day of the event! We will have a special viewing area for families.
- On 9/20, we will send home a flyer in the Friday Folder with the schedule for the day. With that flyer we will include an envelope for check or cash donations to be turned into your teacher or front office; we encourage these donations as we don’t pay a processing fee on them. Please include your student name and homeroom teacher so we can add these donations to their class trackers!
