Dear STEM Families,

We’re excited to announce STEM’s second annual All-School Fun Run Fundraiser, happening Wednesday, September 9!

Even more exciting—REGISTRATION OPENS TODAY! Families can get started now by following the registration steps below.

Register Your Spartan Today!

When registering your student, please be sure to select the correct teacher:

• Grades K–5: Register your student under their Homeroom Teacher
• Grades 6–12: Register your student under their Access Teacher

Register Here: https://mybooster.com/

This annual school-based fundraiser is our largest fundraising effort of the year, bringing our entire K–12 community together for a day of fitness, fun, school spirit, and a little friendly competition—all while raising funds that directly benefit our students.

Where Does the Money Go?

Every dollar raised goes directly into the STEM Accelerator Fund.

The Accelerator Fund helps turn great ideas into reality by funding opportunities and experiences that go above and beyond what our annual school budget can provide. These funds allow us to invest in our classrooms, programs, extracurricular opportunities, school culture, and memorable experiences that help make STEM a place where students and staff thrive.

This year, our goal is to raise $75,000 to support:

• Secondary classroom improvements
• Additional Elementary playground equipment
• Clubs and enrichment programs
• Athletics
• School-wide student experiences

Two Events. One STEM Community.

Elementary | Spartan Sprint
Our K–5 students will participate in the Spartan Sprint, celebrating movement, school spirit, and all of their hard work fundraising for STEM!

Secondary | Chromatic Chaos Color Run
Students in grades 6–12 can participate in our Chromatic Chaos Color Run by raising or donating a minimum of $25.

Registration Challenge

Last year, an incredible 66% of our students registered. Can we beat it this year?

If 65% of STEM students register by Event Day, students will unlock:

Grades K–5: Extra recess on the new playground!

Grades 6–12: Access Class Party with screen-free fun!

Help Us Reach $75,000!

If our STEM community reaches our $75,000 school-wide fundraising goal, our Administration Team will spend the day in inflatable costumes AND race each other in inflatable suits!

Our Secondary Spartans have an extra challenge, too! If grades 6–12 raise $40,000, Secondary students will earn an extra day off school in January!

Can STEM Reach All 50 States?

We're also bringing back the 50-State Challenge! If STEM receives at least one pledge from all 50 states:

Grades K–5: Administration will dye their hair!

Grades 6–12: Administration will dye their beards!

Start thinking about grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, family friends, and loved ones across the country who might want to support your Spartan!

And There's One BIG School Goal Reward...

If we achieve our overall fundraising goal, every STEM student registered will receive an all-day pass to Great Wolf Lodge and a students first donation will earn them a pair of wolf ears!

Our students made last year's fundraiser incredible, and we can't wait to see what our entire STEM community can accomplish together this year.

Registration is open NOW, so get your Spartan signed up, start sharing, and help us reach $75,000!

$75,000. One STEM community. Let's do this, Spartans!

In Partnership,
