Join us as we "Fall Into Fitness" and host our 9th Annual 5K & 1-Mile Run/Walk at Simmons! This is one of the biggest events for the Home and School Association! The money raised from this event supports Assemblies, Classroom Startup Funds, Grants by Grade, Author Visits/Library Programs, Special Projects and more.
Register online at: www.runtheday.com KEYWORD: Simmons
Once again, there will be an All-School event during the school day on Friday, October 18th. The Fall Into Fitness Run-Walk-A-Thon is a way to get all of our students moving because we know some cannot make the 5K event. Donations are encouraged and the students from each grade who raise the most money will receive a prize. Donation pages can be set up online through the Rack Link and can be shared with friends and family. More information on setting up online fundraising pages online will come home in the next few weeks. All money raised from this event will be used to benefit our school!
