In School Event
(Rainout Make Up Date: Friday, Oct 25th)
Our annual during-school Walk/Jog-a-thon is coming up on Friday, October 4, 2024 (rain date: Friday, October 25th). This is a great opportunity for students to have fun, stay active, and raise funds to support BCE! BONUS: Every student will receive a FREE BCE Spirit Wear T-shirt from the BCE Parents Club at this event to show their school pride!
How It Works:
Students can gather pledges for each lap completed or as a one-time donation before the event, with a goal of raising $50 per student. Typically students run an average of ~15-20 laps. There is a few ways students can collect pledges; either by creating a pledge page online or using our traditional paper form.
βNew this year: Families can create an online pledge page for easy sharing on social media, email, or text. Set up your studentβs pledge page here. Prefer paper? Weβve got you covered! bit.ly/47Fn7Y1 Every student will also receive a copy of the paper pledge in their folders from their teachers.
DJ Downward is donating his time to play fun tunes during this event! We will also be providing refreshments after their laps.

π Drive for Schools
Share this fundraiser with your family, friends and co-workers!
The Drive for Schools fundraiser is here! Tickets were sent home with students and each family received a ticket book π« (6 for $25). Anyone can buy tickets (e.g., grandparents, coworkers, neighbors). We like to look at this fundraiser as a way to directly donate, with the added perk of being entered into a drawing. This is also a great opportunity for donation matching from your company, as well. We have info on how to do this for Apple, Microsoft and Google. Just ask!
100% of the proceeds go directly to BCE Parents Club! Payments are due by October 18th at 8:30 am. If you like to purchase tickets visit.
Or you can ask your students teacher or go to the BCE Office for more tickets. Every Tuesday after school we provide credit card ticket purchases on campus. For large ticket purchases reach out to us on the contact drive4schools@bceparentsclub.org
