Dyer Fun Run is Coming!
Parents! This year’s main fundraiser is the Dyer Fun Run! It’ll be a 9-day program where we kick off with a Pep Rally on Wednesday, February 3rd, families will have time to get pledges for every lap your student runs, and then we’ll celebrate at the Fun Run on Friday, February 12th. With our big goal to raise funds for a playground shade structure, we asked the Fun Run experts at Boosterthon to power our Fun Run and make it more profitable, easier, and fun. Students will also experience an amazing character theme, Big World Recess! It’s a global fitness theme all about playing with character. Donations will go toward a playground shade structure and to the entire 9-day experience. So please help our school by reaching out to sponsors. Also, all families are invited to come out and cheer on your student at the Fun Run on 2/12! If you are interested in volunteering during the fun run, you can sign up here. Thank you for your support!
