Jog-A-Thon
Time to Fundraise!
We are so excited to launch our 3rd Annual Jog-A-Thon!
What is a Jog-A-Thon? The basic premise of our Jog-A-Thon is that students are sponsored to walk, jog or run as many laps as possible within a determined time. Pledges are a flat rate and are NOT per lap.
As we all know walking/running is not only good for the body but also good for the soul. It has physical and mental health benefits and helps promote self confidence in the student. The students are very much looking forward to this fun and exciting event!
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!)
- Friday, November 6: Jog Day, grades 2-8. Students will be transported by bus to the SOU Raiders Stadium Track at staggered times.
- Monday, November 9: All pledge money should be collected and turned in by no later than this day.
How Does The Jog-A-Thon Work?
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.
We'd love for you to join us!
