On April 22, we will be hosting the 2022 Roadrunner Fun Run in partnership with Boosterthon. Students and staff will participate as every student can help raise funds for their school, build character, win prizes, run on the big race day, and - most important - have fun!

The goal of this event is to help fundraise for a new audiovisual system at Arbor View. This will help with future school events in the gymnasium and improve the experience for our children, staff, and families for many years. The goal is to raise $15,000 and we need your help!

We are currently seeking corporate sponsors to help with our initial spirit wear costs. Every Arbor View student will receive a RoadRunner Fun Run t-shirt that will have our sponsors listed on the back. This is a great opportunity for local businesses and families to support their community. Please see attached sponsorship form. Spirit wear sponsorships are due Monday, March 21.

We are also seeking volunteers to help with preparation and the event. Since we are partnering with Boosterthon, the lift should be lighter, but help is always appreciated! Sign up here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20F094EAEAE2AA20-roadrunner
