New Community Information: Eagle Run AND Direct Ask Campaign - We hope everyone has an amazing time at the Eagle Run! This year the Eagle Run is raising money to pay for instructional paraprofessionals for the 2026-2027 school year. These important staff members support students and teachers in grades K-5. A Few Important Updates for Day-of Logistics: Each student will receive an Eagle Run sticker with their number of laps recorded. If you are cheering on runners, please support volunteers in ensuring all students get an Eagle Run sticker with their recorded number of laps! Once students have received their sticker, they can get their popsicle and celebrate with classmates. Eagle Run stickers will be the “official” recording for laps this year. If you would like to print out an Eagle Run certificate for your runner, please print out the digital template (available at: https://drive.google.com/file/d/10_nEBG-i-bsyBbsDvQHcXSWGm1eFRuPc/view?usp=sharing and fill out your runner’s name and number of laps. Please note that if students have opted for lap-based pledges, they’ll need to save their stickers or remember the number of laps they ran (honor system is in place for any lost stickers!). We would love to raise $90,000 (which equals about $180 per student) this year for this very important fundraiser to help out our teachers and students at Edison.
