St. Johns, FL 32259*NEW DATE* Boosterthon Fun Run
TCE Families,
This year’s main fundraiser is the Boosterthon Fun Run! This nine-day program will kick off with a Pep Rally on November 9, 2015 -- giving families time to get pledges for every lap your student runs -- and then we’ll celebrate at the Fun Run on November 19, 2015. Our big goal this year is to raise funds for technology, shade for the playground, and an outside eating area for parents/students, so we asked the Fun Run experts at Boosterthon to power our Fun Run and make it more profitable 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 our fundraising goals and to the entire nine-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!
