The FUN RUN is the second biggest fundraiser for our Foundation. This is a school-wide fundraiser, but it also promotes health and fitness for the students. The money raised by the FUN RUN is used to fund and support school programs, such as, Science, Art, Physical Education, IMPACT teachers, as well as, Technology, and many other school and classroom needs not met by the current district budget.
IF WE RAISE $40 PER STUDENT, WE WILL MEET OUR FUNDRAISING GOAL!
HOW THE FUN RUN WORKS:
STUDENTS TO FIND SPONSORS: Our 2026 Fun Run fundraising efforts kick off this week! Starting today until the day of the Fun Run on April 2 , students are encouraged to find sponsors that want to support them by pledging a dollar amount in exchange for running as many laps as possible on Fun Run day.
Pledges can be made by cash, check or online and are due in the provided envelope by Friday, April 3
Online donations: We are using the same fundraising platform as last year, 99Pledges. Each student will have their own fundraising page for collecting online pledges. Simply enter your child’s name in the search bar where it says“ search for participant” and it will direct you to your child’s personal page.
Please support your student’s endeavors in finding sponsors and collecting their pledges. The more sponsors and pledges collected means more funds to benefit our amazing students and school. Some great resources for sponsors are family, friends, neighbors and co-workers.
WALK/JOG/RUN: On Thursday, April 2, students will have 15 minutes with their grade level to walk/jog/run as many laps as they can. Each grade level will participate at separate times. The schedule will be shared with parents that want to volunteer or just to come cheer on their student. Keep an eye out for more information in the Monarch News. Each class is competing to win the Golden Shoe (which is awarded to the class with the most average laps per grade level)!
