This year’s main fundraiser is the John B. Day Fun Run! It’s a two-week program that kicks off with a Pep Rally on Tuesday, 3/5. Families will then gather pledges for every lap your student runs (30-35 laps), and we’ll celebrate at the Fun Run on Thursday, 3/14 during the school day, so everyone gets to participate!!! With our ambitious goal of raising $25,000 for Cafeteria Technology Enhancements & Beautification (think Cafeteria Mural and brightened New Wing) as well as PTA Events, we asked the Fun Run experts at Boosterthon to power our Fun Run and make it easier, more profitable, and more fun. Students will also experience an amazing character theme, MINDSPARK MYSTERY LAB! Boosterthon’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 solve mysteries, our students will learn five 21st-century character traits that will help strengthen themselves and our world during their PE classes. Funds raised will go toward Beautification (we plan to secure Onietonie who's artwork is around Virginia Beach) & Technology Enhancements for the New Wing, PTA Events, and to the entire two-week experience. So please help our school by reaching out to sponsors. Be on the lookout for more information to be in your child's backpack very soon! Watch a video on Boosterathon here.
