I’m sure that you have all settled in to your new fall routines, having embraced all of the excitement of returning to school. Our traditional PCA Jog A Thon is now being held in the fall, Monday, October 3rd, so keep your eyes open for pledge packets coming home to you in your ‘Friday Folder’ (arriving to you ironically on Thursday, September 15th).
There will be prizes for the most laps run, the most monies raised and for the class who raises the most in pledges. This is always a fun event filled with excited kids from every class - PK to eighth grade – running their legs off with their hearts full of PCA pride!
Our goal for fundraising is $100 per student!! That’s only five $20 pledges, and if you can get more, do!! NEW THIS YEAR is the opportunity for businesses to sponsor each class and sponsor the school. Forms with details will be coming home soon, but each class that gets a sponsor will have a plaque with their sponsor’s name in their classroom and get their sponsorship put on our website and Facebook site!!!
I could use some more helpers on the day of the event to count laps and pour water for thirsty runners. I also have a need for someone to track the pledges by student and by class. The tracking is a great opportunity for someone looking to log some volunteer hours at home!
Watch for details in the Friday (Thursday) folder today!
In Christ,
