This year, our PTA has a goal to knock out our annual fundraising needs with JUST ONE FUNDRAISER! The Eagles Fun Run!

During the school day on Wednesday, October 9th (rain date Thursday, October 10th) each Ivy Hill student will participate in the Eagles Fun Run during the school day. Students will earn prizes with their solicited donations.

PJ Day at school with $3,000 raised COMPLETED!

Extra Recess with $6,000 raised

Open seating for lunch with $9,000 raised

Eagle Lunch Dance Party when we hit our overall $12,000 goal

The $12,000 goal for this fundraiser supports our child-focused, staff-supporting missions and prevents further donation solicitation from the Ivy Hill PTA for the remainder of the year.

How to raise funds:
Please complete the 3-minute registration online, or with the mobile-friendly QR code below, and help us reach our fundraising goal with the Eagles Fun Run!

We’ll see you on October 9th!

Thank you!
