Fun Run Update

Here are some fun facts about our run
  • As a school we ran 9,912 laps! That equals 619.5 miles.
  • The school average laps per student was 25.4.
  • The highest class average laps per student was Oscar Valcaral Nova’s 6th graders with 38.2. That earns them extra recess!
  • Ingrid Delaflor’s 1st grade class was your Best Spirit winners. They win a hamster ball party! 
 
We are more than halfway to our goal of raising $25,000 towards enhancing our playground with basketball hoops, gaga pit, outdoor classroom and we can’t do it without your help! Students can earn individual, class and school-wide prizes & events! The funds this year will be used to benefit all of our students.
 
This year’s goal is only $75 per student – easily attainable! The best strategy is to help your student start finding sponsors & donors right away. Check out the parent letter or our website for the full list of prizes your student can earn – some of them are listed at the end of this email.
