What IS the Bulldog Dash?
Students walk or run on a racecourse on the playground field or track, striving for their personal best and a half an hour of sheer fun! Each student collects donations from friends and family members. Guardians are able to help with the race or just come to watch their student race! Parents who have no other option than to bring siblings along must remain in the spectator section (the picnic table area) and keep the siblings away from the track. It's about safety for everyone, people. Thanks for following the rules, even the ones you don't love. 😉
Why Are We Running?
The Bulldog Dash is a FUNdraiser that involves the students! It's a tradition that has allowed us to fund our PTO budget for the past decade. Did I mention that it is FUN?! The money collected by students (and donated by YOU and YOUR adult peeps) will help fund field trips, including transportation, classroom grants, extra classroom supplies, school events and team appreciation.
What Do I Do with this Container that Came Home with My Bulldog Today?
So glad you asked! First, look for the piece of paper that should be tucked inside of it. It will explain! Can't wait? I've got you.
- Collect coins and dollars to fill up the container. Suggestions: Let your child scour the house for loose change leftover from when everyone only used cash. Check the couch cushions, under the seats or floor mats in the car, or take a walk together and keep your eyes peeled. If you own a business, plop that container right by the cash register and make friends with complete strangers!
- Empty full container in grade level jar at school by September 13th. Labeled containers will be in the front lobby every day through Dash Day! Fill and dump as many times as you'd like.
- Check to see if your grade level is winning. If not, collect more coins!
The top three grade levels to collect the most money will win an exciting prize!!
I know, you don't use cash anymore. I bet the grandparents still do. Or maybe that cranky neighbor guy who could use a chat and a smile from you and your child has a cup of change by his recliner. Historically, this has been a fun option that our students see and understand. That's why we still do it. If the container collection is more than your plate can hold right now, just send it back to school empty or use it for leftovers and scroll right back up there to donate through the website. We appreciate all the support we can get!

WatchDOGS Wednesdays!!
It's a WatchDOGS revival in the Belmont DogHouse! With at least a week's notice, we'll welcome a DAD (gotta be a significant adult guardian or relation) each Wednesday to work a day at BE. There will be a schedule provided that will include a variety of tasks including building safety, academic assistance in classrooms, and logistical support during lunch, and the reward...RECESS! We guarantee you'll have the opportunity to enjoy lunch and recess with your own child(ren) and around that, we'll put you to work in the classrooms where your extra hands will be the most helpful! Do YOU have the opportunity to take a day off to hang out with about 370 beautiful children and the adults who love learning with them?
