ALL THINGS JOGATHON!
Jogathon will be Friday, October 18, 2019. It is our biggest fundraiser of the year!
Packets were sent home this week. In the Packets you will find all the detailed Jogathon information. Your child’s run schedule is also in the packet so you can make plans to come cheer on your child. Also, there will be an opportunity for your child to purchase a snack after their designated run time, so you may want to plan to send a couple of dollars with your child on the day of Jogathon.
Our theme this year is “The Greatest Run” based on the movie "The Greatest Showman." Every child will receive a free t-shirt with the logo on it!
When you receive your child’s packet please take a moment to check out the all new prize structure. This year we have moved to a tiered prize structure. Basically, every child that returns their packet on the day of Jogathon with any pledge will receive a prize. The more your child raises the more and better prizes he / she will receive. Also, this year in lieu of trophy’s the highest money earners in each grade will receive a double-walled steel insulated tumbler engraved with our JAT logo. The overall top fundraiser at Primary and Elementary will each win an Amazon Echo Dot kids edition. The boy and girl in each grade level that runs the most laps will receive a medal. We really hope that we have found a way for every student to have an excellent chance of earning a prize!
Make it fun for the kids – Do you have any Circus style talents? If you can juggle, ride a unicycle or are willing to dress up like a circus performer to make it extra fun for the kids we would love it!
Thank you for encouraging your kids with their fundraising efforts. The money raised for Jogathon helps make our school amazing by providing additional resources and opportunities that benefit all of our students. We are so appreciative of your support.
