Fun Run Update
A big thank-you to PTA, our families and community for the incredible support of our Boosterthon Fun Run. The event was a huge success, filled with school spirit, energy, and teamwork. Funds raised will directly benefit our students and staff through programming, events, and classroom resources. We are grateful for your generosity and enthusiasm in making this possible!
#2 PTA Updates
October 6th Updates:
WOW, Red Devil Nation
Our hearts are BURSTING with gratitude for our incredible St. C Elementary families, community members, teachers, staff, and amazing friends who supported our students during these last two weeks of Boosterthon!
Because of YOU, we were able to celebrate in a BIG way—with EVERY single student and staff member coming together for our Fun Run event! It may have been hot , but the joy, laughter, and excitement made it absolutely magical. Seeing our entire school united—every kiddo and staff member in matching shirts, running side by side, cheering one another on—was a moment we will never forget.
This is what community looks like. This is what FAMILY feels like. And we are so, so lucky to be part of it.
To our generous Community Sponsors—thank you for making sure EVERY child had a special edition Fun Run shirt to wear. Your kindness and commitment to our kids mean the world.
To Total Sports Connection—THANK YOU for creating these amazing shirts! They looked fantastic and made the day extra special.
To our families, friends, teachers, and staff—thank you for every single donation, cheer, and ounce of encouragement. You have filled our kids’ hearts with joy and our school with pride.
The PTA promised fewer fundraisers this year—and with your incredible support, this event has truly sealed the deal
From the bottom of our hearts—THANK YOU. You are all absolutely AMAZING, and we couldn’t have done this without YOU.
