From the Principal:
Dear Parents and Families,
I am so excited about the upcoming St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Fun Run! With just a week away from our big event on Friday, May 10, 2024, I wanted to update you on our progress and share some key details about this much-anticipated school event.
Raising Funds and Promoting Health Our Fun Run is not only a fantastic way to promote physical fitness and healthy habits among our students but also a crucial fundraiser for our school, which will be focused on continued enhancements to our school’s safety and security. We are thrilled to report that thanks to your enthusiastic support, we have already raised approximately $50,000! While this is a fantastic achievement, we still have a little way to go to hit our target of $80,000. We are confident that with your continued generosity, we can reach—and even exceed—this goal.
Event Details The Fun Run will take place on a specially designed course on our campus. Participants will include our students, staff, and any family members who wish to join in the fun. Remember, this is a community effort, and every lap run or walked counts towards our goal!
Global Participation We are excited to remind you that family and friends from around the globe can participate in our fundraising efforts. This is a wonderful way to connect our community with the broader global family that supports our students. Every contribution, no matter where it comes from, brings us closer to our goal.
How You Can Help We are aiming for 100% participation from our students, and we suggest a fundraising goal of $250 per student. Here’s how you can help make the Fun Run a success:
- Encourage your child to participate enthusiastically in the run.
- Reach out to friends and family for donations, reminding them that their support enriches our school community and promotes health and fitness.
We are looking forward to a fantastic day of fun, fitness, and fundraising. Let's keep the momentum going and make the Healthy Kids Fun Run a resounding success!
Thank you for your unwavering support and commitment to our school community. As always, I’ll look forward to seeing you on campus soon!
In Christ,
Len Urso, Principal
