Important Updates!
As promised in our newsletter from yesterday, read below for the most up to date information about Fun Run!
And please note, your school secretary's fingers were flying too fast yesterday and accidentally posted the incorrect date for Spooktacular! The actual date is October 25th (please see correction below). I apologize for the inconvenience....I don't want a school full of cute trick or treaters to be upset with me!

All About Fun Run!
Fun Run
FUN RUN DONATION LINK IS LIVE!!
Get ready for fun and fitness all day on Thursday, October 10th!
The Willagillespie Fun Run is our largest fundraiser where families, friends, and members of our community donate money to support students as they run, jog, skip, or walk the school track as many times as they can. The kids have fun, compete for class incentives (including the chance to win the Golden, Silver or Purple shoes for their classroom!) and grade level prizes.
We use this money to pay for classroom supplies, Field Trips, teacher requests, family fun nights and much much more…
Grades will be working hard together to earn these fun prizes for their classrooms (each prize level can be earned).
- $3,000 - Win a Glow dance party during their PE
- $4,000 - Win an afternoon pizza party
- $5,000 - Will win a trip to the prize wall (can be viewed outside the library starting Thursday, Sept. 26th)
- Top fundraising grade will win a party with the Willagillespie Eagle and a special surprise
- Collection envelopes will be coming home next week but get ahead of the game by using our online link which is quick and easy and you can share with everyone you know.
*Ways to help during this year's Fun Run (including run times) are still being finalized and will be shared soon! Please remember if you'd like to volunteer during the day you must have a current background check on file with 4J.
*Easily donate directly to your student (so their grade gets the credit).
Type your student’s name to find their donation page and share that link directly with family and friends.
Look for a Sneak Peak at our Fun Run shirt this year on the Willagillespie PTO website!!
Every student and staff member will receive a shirt for free.
*We will have a limited amount of shirts available to purchase. More details coming soon.
There's still time to be a sponsor for this year's Fun Run and get your company logo up on the fence at Willagillespie!! Click below for more information.
