Eblen Charities Fundraiser
We are now starting our first week of this year’s Eblen Charities Pumpkin Fundraiser.
Our goal is to sell 500 Pumpkins!! Eblen Charities assist Asheville City Schools with projects every year. Already this year Eblen has donated over $1,000 to help students with clothing and shoe assistance, school supplies, classroom snacks, and medical needs including vision and hearing assistance.
Please consider giving back to Eblen by purchasing a pumpkin for $1. Each dollar earned is our way of saying “Thank You” for everything they do for us! Pumpkins are available in the school office as well as sending in $1 with the order form attached below filled out to me. Mrs. Wells and Ms. Oglesby, will be hanging up the pumpkins in the lobby at the front of the school.
Eblen is awarding prizes for this year’s top pumpkin sellers:
- Teacher $25 gift certificate to Outback Steakhouse
- Student $10 gift certificate to Regal Biltmore Grand Cinemas.
- Classroom ice cream party (pizza & Pepsi party for selling over 150)
Thank you for all of you support!
FUN RUN at Memorial Stadium
The Claxton Fun Run includes all students in a fun, team building, fitness event while helping our school raise much-needed funds during the two week program!
This year, our entire school is raising funds to go towards the programs that PTO supports! Our goal is to raise $20,000, and we need YOUR help!
Here’s how you can support Claxton:
- Register your student. To log in pledges, please register your child on funrun.com, using our school’s registration code: 445-132. Students receive a FREE GIFT just by having their parent or guardian register them on funrun.com.
- Reach out to sponsors. Connect with 10 sponsors. You can use social media in the pledging process and even create custom videos—all of this is on funrun.com. Be sure to capture and record each sponsor’s e-mail address. They will also have an easy opportunity to pay for your student’s pledge by credit card online.
- Ask your child about the BIG WORLD RECESS Character Play of the day! This year’s character theme is BIG WORLD RECESS, a global fitness theme all about playing with more character. Watch the fun videos with your child on funrun.com.
- Come to the Claxton Fun Run on 10/15/2015! All students are invited to participate, regardless of financial participation. Remember, students will be running 30-35 laps, and we would love for you to come out and cheer.
Thank you for supporting our school. We hope to see you next week at the Claxton Fun Run, October 15th, Memorial Stadium.
