2023 Bobcat Fun Run Details

On Friday, April 28th, all students will participate in our annual Fun Run. This year’s theme is a COLOR RUN - runners will be showered with colored powder at stations along the run, or individually at home. 

We are working hard to raise $50,000 for much needed playground improvements, such as turf, to our PK-3 areas and various play areas, and to bring enrichment programs to our school, both at a classroom and schoolwide level. 

Follow our progress HERE.

Dress Attire

2023 Bobcat Fun Run t-shirt, sunglasses and appropriate length shorts. Fun Run t-shirts and sunglasses will be provided once the sponsors have been finalized. Fun Run t-shirts may also be worn on Spirit Mondays thereafter.

The 2023 Bobcat Fun Run will be a color run! A color run is when the runners are showered with colored powder (made of food-grade corn starch) at stations along the run. A Fun Run shirt and sunglasses will be provided for all students to wear during the run.

Sponsors - Business & Individual Families

Any monetary donations obtained from businesses will be credited towards your student/family. Business and Family Sponsorships of $500 and higher will be advertised on the back of the Fun Run t-shirt.

Sponsorship deadline is March 31^st, 2023 at 5p.m. Sponsorship or underwriting forms may be turned into the Front Office.

Parents can help get sponsors to contribute items, also! We also need items for our event to be awarded as raffle prizes, although these items cannot be used toward the monetary amount credited to your family for the pledge drive. An in-kind donation form can be turned into the Front Office.

 

Pledge Drive Process

Each Thursday beginning March 23rd, students will submit an envelope with their Bobcat Fun Run donation slip (filled with cash/check donations) to their homeroom teacher. The donation amount will be counted and recorded under your student’s name by the office administration.

1.     Please keep a record of your submitted donations. All cash/check donations will be recorded in in the GetMovin' system weekly and credit card donations are updated automatically. 
2.     For families with multiple students, please keep your student’s money separated instead of submitting one check for multiple students.
3.     Please do not to send coins as it makes it very difficult to count.
4.     Envelopes may also be turned into the Front Office but must include a donation deposit slip.
5.     Receipts will only be given upon request, for donations above $50.

Additionally, we are teaming up with the Get Movin’ Crew again this year to handle our online pledges and tracking.

You can register your child by visiting www.getmovinfundhub.com. It's free, easy, and fast to register! School Identifier: 5dc0634da5e80


 

Volunteer Opportunities

Many volunteers will be needed to make our event a success, so please join us. We will send out an online sign-up link and have a Volunteer Table set up the morning of Fun Run to sign up. Volunteers must have completed the Ethics and Integrity Workshop (EIM).
