JOG-A-THON IS THIS WEEK!!! and PRIZES!!

Our annual Jog-a-Thon fundraiser is this Friday, October 7th!! Students had a blast at the Kick-off assembly a week ago, and before we know it the Jog-a-thon will be over!! A couple of quick reminders:

1) Keep getting pledges!! Our school goal is $20,000 (which we exceeded last year!) - all PTC funds go towards things like class field trips, assemblies, family enrichment nights, instructional support, etc. (See list of prizes below!!)

2) Jog-a-thon is a RAIN or SHINE event!! We are hopeful that we may catch a break with the weather to have a clear morning, but even if we don't, there is a rain plan. Please watch the weather and dress appropriately. AND REMEMBER SHOES GOOD FOR RUNNING!!

3) Volunteers - we can always use and need as many volunteers as we can for this event! If you are available, please contact Amy Morris (morrismash@q.com) or Chele Condello (bcondello@hotmail.com). Thanks!

Watch for more Jog-a-thon reminders later this week!!!
