Events Newsletter

Having your student make a short video to send to friends and family, with an attached Venmo link is a fast and fun way to collect pledges.

The lot circled in red is a "pay to park" lot. There should also be street parking available on Whightman St.

Jog-A-Thon Important Dates:

• Friday, October 16: Fundraising is underway!
• Thursday, November 5: Kinder and 1st Grade run on campus, family and friends welcome!

If you DO NOT want your student riding the bus, you will need to send an email to your class teacher and cc the Events & Fundraising Coordinator (sarah.collins@siskiyouschool.org) by Friday, October 29. and opt out in writing. Alternate transportation will need to be made in that case.

Please send your student with a rain jacket, an extra outfit and pair of shoes and socks (if you so desire) for when they return to school. We have thin rain ponchos available as well but will run rain or shine! (Within reason, of course)

SOU is hosting us once again for our Jog-A-Thon. We are so lucky to get to use their beautiful track. Thank you to Lana and Wade's dad, Zack, for making this happen!

Families are invited to come cheer our students on.

1) FUNDRAISE!

• Students (and parents) reach out to family, friends, neighbors and community members and ask for pledges to support them and our school.
• Pledge money should be recorded on their pledge sheets and money should be collected and put in the envelope.
• We are asking for flat rate pledges, NOT per lap pledges.

• Their distance achieved will be recorded and they will strive to beat their best number each year!
• Sponsors can give online via this link: https://secure.givelively.org/donate/the-siskiyou-school/the-siskiyou-school-s-3rd-annual-jog-a-thon? or by cash or check.

2) Turn in your Pledge Sheet on Friday, November 6 or earlier.

3) Walk, Jog or Run on "Jog Day", KG and 1st on campus, Thurs. November 5 and grades 2-8 on Fri. November 6. Students will be ushered to the designated track at their allotted time via chaperone and given a certain amount of time to do as many laps as possible.

4) CELEBRATE! Time to congratulate the children on all their hard work! Money we raise goes towards: art supplies, specialty classes like Woodshop, the Acorn Program, Handwork and much more!

**Donations may be tax deductible and tax receipts are available upon request.

Our Gingerbread House is such a sweet Winter Faire tradition, where the children have a chance to shop for loved ones with the help of a 7th grade elf helper. We need many more items to fill our Gingerbread House. Please bring in your new or gently used items to our front office. Popular items include: jewelry, children’s toys, clean games with all the pieces, art kits, kitchen items, gift sets, crystals, window hangings, home decor, pottery and small pieces of art. This is the perfect chance to regift that candle or birthday gift you’ll never use! Think of things you would want your child to buy for you or their siblings. We are not accepting clothing or shoe donations this year. Thank you!

As always, parents and guardians, thank you for supporting our school with your time and efforts!

As a non-profit, we rely on fundraising efforts and appreciate all you do as part of our school community to help us reach our goals.
