Videos are easy to share and fun for the kids to make!
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.
Hazel and Roman, in all their cuteness, fundraising for the Jog-A-Thon.
Blue Packets are due Thursday, November 5
Each student has a fundraising target of $150-$200. Please support your students and assist them in reaching out to family and friends. Together we can reach our school goal of $20,000!
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!
- Thursday, November 5: Packets are due and can be turned in to the front office.
- 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.
First Charter will be transporting our students via bus to & from the track.
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.
We will be running rain or shine!
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)
A huge thank you to SOU for letting us use their incredible track!
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!
*Fun fact; one lap around the SOU track is 400 meters or 1/4 of a mile.
We'd love for you to join us!
Families are invited to come cheer our students on.
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.
