The Mission: This year, our goal is to Support Student Social/Emotional Wellness.
Every lap run helps us provide better resources for our students' well-being. Proceeds will go towards creating equitable access to snacks during the school day for students, as well as purchase incentives for students to redeem using their Charger Bucks!
How the Fun Run Works:
- Students will run or walk laps during their recess time (participation is optional)
- Total laps completed will be sent home after the run
- Students can go at their own pace and take breaks as needed, or choose to play at recess as usual
Donations:
- Families may choose a flat donation amount that works best for them OR family members and friends can pledge a specific amount per lap completed
- Please return the yellow donation slip with all donations by April 24th
-
You can also donate using My School Bucks

- Additional information can be found on the blue flyer that was sent home on 03/25/26.
