A huge THANK YOU to our Jog-a-Thon Committee Co-Chairs, Carolina Cunningham and Abbi West, along with our PTA, volunteers, staff, and families who made the Jog-a-Thon truly magical this year! It was a wonderful day filled with fun and special memories!

We are in our Super Hero Jog-a-thon mode! Students, keep collecting donations using your envelope or online with your runner profile from Member Hub through October 18th! If you have any questions, you can contact our Jog-a-Thon Co-Chair, Carolina Cunningham at carolinacunningham@gmail.com.

• Donations can be collected several ways. PLEASE NOTE: the website and the QR code on the envelope are unfortunately not working so I have included a flyer for you to print out or save on your phone with a working one.
• Cash or check (Monroe PTA) to be collected in the envelope and returned to school on Oct 18th.
• Online via this link or directly to your child's site that was sent to you.
• Some great ways to reach potential donors include
• Old fashioned way of going and asking friends, families and neighbors face to face
• Email out your students link to friends and family
• Ask at your place of work
• Post on social media

REMEMBER JOG-A-THON is our primary fundraiser for school. PTA uses money raised to fund field trips, art projects, teacher appreciation, the Pumpkin Patch, school improvements, classroom grants and sooooo much more!

Thank you!

Carolina Cunningham & Abbi West, Jog-a-Thon Co-Chairs

To raise money for the prizes, Norman Rotary is hosting the Rotary Road Rally on Saturday, October 5. You can bike one of three distances or walk/run the 5K Fun Run. All proceeds go towards the Success Cycle program in Norman Public Schools. Consider riding, running, or walking in the Rally. Information and registration at RotaryRoadRally.com.
