RUN FOR YOUR LIFE! The Andrus JOGATHON is coming up on Friday April 18th, and we need your help! Keep those pledges coming, and please come out to cheer on our runners on race day! Each grade will have 30 minutes of jog time, plus time for a healthy snack and photos. After each lap, runners will scan their cards and also receive a colored bracelet. Laps are .38 miles each and will go toward students "Mighty Milers" total for the year. Our goal is to raise $10K for our school to fund field trips, curriculum updates, teacher grants, birthday books, assemblies, and so much more!
DID YOU KNOW?
West Ada schools are not allowed to charge students for field trips. Because we feel that these opportunities are crucial to a child’s learning, Andrus PTA sponsors field trips for our students. On average that adds up to $4,000 of our annual PTA budget.
In years past, that money has come from our 100% fundraiser, however this year we have not raised sufficient funds to cover the cost of field trips.
This is our main fundraiser for the year and will largely determine what we are able to provide for our students and teachers each year.
That’s approximately $25/student IF everyone donates.
Given that over 20% of our students receive free or reduced lunch,
those who CAN give, will need to give more.
MUCH MORE.
