Last month’s Fun Run raised $10,381.54 for school activities this year!

Prizes are as follows:
– Students that raised $30 or more will receive a School Spirit Store gift certificate. Teachers will hand these out over the next few weeks.
– The top 5 pledging students in the school received a free lunch gift certificate….
– The top pledging student in each classroom will get to be the PE teacher for one class. Mr. Hancock will tell each class who that is in PE.
– The classroom that raised the most money was Ms Kekatos’ class and they received a Recess Pack with super fun stuff and the awesome new trophy!

The PTO sends a huge THANK YOU to all students and teachers for helping raise so much money for our school while having fun and being healthy!
