Jog-a-thon
Jog-a-thon Information
Andrus Elementary PTA is excited to introduce the Jog-a-thon. This event unites the school in the spirit of outdoor physical fitness, and earns money to fund an exciting school addition for next year. It will take place on Friday, May 12th, and each grade will have 30 minutes to jog. All participants will receive water and a snack at the end!
The goal for this fundraiser is $9,000. With the money we raise, we plan to purchase a Free Book Vending machine filled with books that each student will be able to choose from on his/her birthday! Each lap students complete during the jog-a-thon will also count towards student Mighty Milers goals! If the students together reach the fundraising goal of $9,000, they will all earn a school-wide root beer float party AND a DJ during lunch recess! If the students earn $5,000, they will earn a DJ during lunch recess!
Come help and cheer on your student by signing up here!
