Edison’s fourth annual Eagle Run is just around the corner!
The Eagle Run is Edison’s annual run-a-thon fundraiser which will take place during school on September 27. This exciting fundraiswer focuses on team-building, health, fitness and reaching personal goals. All Edison students are encouraged to participate, set goals, cheer on their classmakes and run as many 1/8 mile laps as they can during the run. Students are also encouraged to get as many pledges as they can to help us reach our goals! This year’s goal is to raise $35,000 through per lap pledges and lump sum donations.
How do we participate? Your student’s pledge sheet will come home in Thursday folders. ECE and Kindergarten students’ pledge sheets ask for lump sum donations only. Pledge sheets for grades 1-5 have both a per lap and lump sum option. Students are encouraged to collect pledges from family, neighbors, friends, co-workers, etc. over the next 3 weeks.
On September 27, all Edison students are encouraged to wear their Edison T-shirt, bring their water bottles and join their classmates to run as many laps as they can in 25 minutes (ECE and kindergarten will run for 15 minutes). The number of laps will be tallied after the run and the rest of the day will resume as usual. Students will be sent home with their lap count and can then put it on their pledge sheets and collect pledges in cash, check or online until October 11 when all pledge sheets are due back to school. Please use the Eagle Run envelope to place all checks, cash and pledge sheet. Please seal the envelope with your child’s name on the outside and return it to your homeroom teacher. Help Edison raise money to benefit classrooms, Enrichment Day, Edison Earnings and more. Encourage your student to collect pledges, set a goal, run…and Have Fun! The top fundraiser will win $100 gift certificate to Dick’s Sporting Goods. Two randomly selected winners (who have raised at least $10) will win $50 gift certificates to Dick’s Sporting Goods.
