Jog-a-thon Recap

Jog-a-thon was a great day for our runners and we raised $35,586! If you haven't turned in your donations, there is still time- drop donations off in the office or submit to the 99Pledges website by Monday, May 20 to be included for prizes! We’re still tabulating the results, but along with exceeding the school wide goal, as of now, we should be proud that 195 students raised money, 139 students met the goal of $80 and 9 classrooms made their goal. Plus, the students had a great day chasing the Roosevelt Raccoon! Thank you to our generous sponsors for covering our costs and to all the volunteers who make Jog-a-thon our best community event. The PTA eagerly anticipates organizing the programs for the 2024-2025 school year that are made possible by these generous donations, including art, garden, field trips, and family events.
