As you may have noticed, this year’s Jog-A-Thon donation envelopes and general info sheets went home with children in their Monday folders on Monday, September 26, 2016 (so check your kids’ backpacks if you haven’t yet seen these materials! ).
This year’s Jog-A-Thon event is scheduled for Friday, October 7, 2016.
We will have a lot of volunteer opportunities for the event itself — COME CHECK THEM OUT RIGHT HERE, AT OUR ONLINE SIGN-UP FORM!*
In addition to volunteering at the event, however… you can also help with this fundraiser simply by helping your child participate in the fundraising portion of the event. Jog-A-Thon donations are tax-deductible and 100% of the money earned goes directly to supporting Battle Creek Elementary School programs (including library, PE, music, art, science, field trips, and technology).
This year’s schedule for Jog-A-Thon fundraising is as follows:
- Sept 26–Oct 13, 2016 — sign-up pledges and collect money
- Oct 7, 2016 — Jog-A-Thon (held at Battle Creek Elementary during the school day; see schedule)
- Oct 13, 2016 — Last day to return pledge envelopes and money!
The schedule of events for Jog-A-Thon itself (on Oct 7) will be as follows:
- 9:25am–10:10am — 4th/5th grades
- 10:20am–11:05am — 3rd grade
