Jesse Boyd Elementary November 1, 2016
Greetings from Dr. Rose
As always, we will move from one great event to the next. Boosterthon is coming soon. This has quickly become a favorite two weeks for our students. Our PTSO has set high goals for this fundraiser this year, but we are confident that our students and families are up to the challenge. This is the main fundraiser for our PTSO and the money raised will provide a tremendous amount of service for our students.
BOOSTERTHON
A letter from our Boosterthon organizers
JBE Parents,
We are excited about Boosterthon kicking off at Jesse Boyd Elementary next week! Thank you in advance for your help in making this a great experience for the children and a successful fundraiser for JBE. It will be an exciting, concentrated 9 day event. To summarize what is going to happen … your child goes to a pep rally next week and starts collecting pledges for laps he/she will run. The next 9 days, students get fun character/leadership/fitness lessons (while continuing to get pledges). All students will participate in a fun run for the final event. Afterwards, they will collect their pledges. To get things started here is your child’s basic schedule:
Boosterthon Pep Rally: Monday, November 7th (Gymnasium)
· 12:45 p.m. (Grades 3-5, Mrs. Adams, Ms. Duncan & Ms. White’s classes ); 1:30 p.m. (Grades K-2)
· Your child will bring home information and pledge sheets on this day. Please register your child on this day!! (Parents who registered last year will have to re-register their children to put them in their new class. However, parents can use their same login as last year. There is a "forgot password" button they can reset their profile with.)
Team Huddle Days: November 9th – November 16th in the Reader’s Workshop room
· Boosterthon team will communicate daily to each grade level for 10-15 min in a team huddle to join in fitness challenges and get pumped about different community character themes!
Boosterthon Fun Run: Thursday, November 17th Parents are welcome and encouraged to attend!
· Schedule: 12:00 p.m. (K-2nd grade); 1:00 p.m. (3-5 & Ms. Duncan and Ms. Milam's classes)
· Every student will participate in the Boosterthon Fun Run and receive a t-shirt to wear for the run.
· The Boosterthon team will set up 2 tracks outside (or inside depending on weather). Both tracks are 1/16 of a mile.
· Students can get a pledge per lap or a flat donation. They both count towards the rewards. (i.e. $30 flat donation = $1 per lap pledge). Students will run between 30-35 laps.
Collection Information:
· Students can start getting pledges on November 7th after pep rally.
· Pledge Money Due Date – November 21st
· Pledges can be made online (www.funrun.com), check or cash. Checks made out to Jesse Boyd PTSO.
Thank you again. We need everyone’s help to make this a success.
