PTA Fall Fundraiser 2019
Parents and Families—this year’s main fundraiser is the FALL FUN RUN! It’s a two-week program that kicks off with a Pep Rally on September 27th. Families will then gather pledges for every lap your student runs (30-35 laps) at the FUN RUN, which will happen on October 10th. This year our goal is to raise $15,000 for School Field Trips and Events, and we need your help! We’ve asked the experts at Booster to power our fundraiser to make it easier, more profitable, and more fun. This event takes the place of our fall fundraising sales.
Students will also experience an amazing character theme, MINDSPARK: WILD WEST! Booster’s most exciting theme yet combines S.T.E.A.M. skills (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) with character-building. While they're teaming up with the MindSpark Kids to save Dr. Shock, our students will learn five character traits that will help strengthen themselves and our world.
Donations will go toward School Field Trips and Events and the entire two-week experience. So please help our school by getting pledges from family and friends and entering them on FUNRUN.COM. Also, all families are invited to come out and cheer on our students at the Edison FALL FUN RUN. Thanks so much for your support!
