PTA Information
Boosterthon!
Our Elliott Elementary kicked off Tuesday with an exciting Pep Rally, and we are thrilled about this year’s program! We’ve asked the Fun Run experts at Boosterthon to power our Fun Run program (which will last about two weeks), making our fundraising simpler, more profitable, and more fun. Our Fun Run includes EVERY student in a fun, fitness event while helping our school raise much-needed funds.
This year, our entire school is raising funds for iPads for K-2nd and Chromebooks for 3rd-5th. Our goal is to raise $17,500, and we need YOUR help!
Here’s how you can support Elliott Elementary:
• Register your student on funrun.com using this code: 762-927. Once you do, your student will receive a FREE GIFT just for being registered. Then, use funrun.com to log pledges for your child.
• Reach out to sponsors. Every student’s goal is to connect with 10 sponsors. And withfunrun.com’s smart sharing features, reaching out to sponsors is easier than ever. The easiest way to get pledges is to simply click the Facebook share button on your student’s pledge page. Plus, with a few clicks, you can create a custom Student Star video to share on social media. You can also use the Easy Emailer to connect with friends and family. As you gather pledges, be sure to record each sponsor’s e-mail address so they have the opportunity to easily pay for your student’s pledge online via credit card. (If you wish to send a cash or check pledge during the program, now through Friday ,October 20th, please make checks payable to Elliott Elementary PTA and send the payment with your student in a marked envelope with students name, teachers name, grade and that it’s for Boosterthon.)
• Ask your child about the Castle Quest Character Lesson of the day! This year’s character program is Castle Quest, a castle theme all about bravery. On their quest to regain Bravemore Castle, students will learn the “SIX VIRTUES of a TRUE HERO” from a cast of colorful characters. Join along by watching the fun character videos with your child on funrun.com.
• Come to the Fun Run on October 20th! All students are included in the Fun Run, regardless of financial participation. Remember, students will be running 30-35 laps, and we would love for you to come out and cheer!
