Eagle Run – September 23 – During the school day
What is the Eagle Run? The Eagle Run is Edison’s annual run-a-thon fundraiser, which will take place during school on September 23rd . This exciting fundraiser focuses on team-building, health, fitness and reaching personal goals. All Edison students are encouraged to participate, set-goals, cheer-on their classmates 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 all reach our goals! This year’s goal is to raise $100,000 (or an average of $250 per student) through per lap pledges and lump sum donations. The Eagle Run fundraiser will fund 4 staff paraprofessionals for our school.
How do we participate? Your student’s pledge sheet came home in Thursday folders this week. ECE and Kinder 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 four weeks. On September 23rd, all participating students are encouraged to wear athletic clothing, running shoes, bring their water bottles and join their classmates to run as many 1/8 mile laps as they can in 25 minutes (ECE and Kinder 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 10th when all pledge sheets are due back to school. Please use the attached envelope to place all checks, cash and their pledge sheet. Please seal the envelope with your child’s name on the outside and return to your homeroom teacher.
Help Edison raise money to benefit classroom needs. Encourage your student to collect pledges, set a goal, run…and HAVE FUN!
