🏃‍♀️🎉 Race For Education is TOMORROW! 🎉🏃‍♂️

We’re so excited for our Race For Education happening tomorrow! Please use the link below to find all the details you need, including when your student will be at the track and how to make a contribution to help us reach our fundraising goal.

💡 If each student raises just $15, we’ll hit our goal!
There’s still time to make it happen—and if we do, we’ll get to see Mrs. Martz take on the Ice Bucket Challenge! 🧊😄

🎉💰 The Coin Drive Is ON! 💰🎉

It’s time to dig into those couch cushions and piggy banks — our Coin Drive is in full effect!

📅 This week, every morning before school, students can bring in coins and drop them into their grade’s bin. We’ll be set up in the 1st grade shared space to collect coins and jot down the names of our awesome donors.

🏃‍♀️✨ At the end of the week, every penny goes toward our Race For Education total — and the grade that raises the most money wins a cool, sweet treat: Rita’s Water Ice! 🍧

🎁 Plus, one lucky student who donates will be entered into a drawing to win a gift card!

Let’s work together, have fun, and see which grade can rise to the top! 💙💛
Coins = Fun + Giving Back!
