Dear Blue Jay Families,

We have an exciting fundraiser in store for students to help bring much-needed funds to our school!

Our Fundraiser at a Glance:

1. Kickoff Event-March 6! Students will learn what to expect from the fun days ahead and how the fundraiser will work.

2. Character-Building Videos. Our school will follow along with a character-building program called Grand Land Adventure. Students will learn about five different U.S. National Parks while building character and raising funds to hit our fundraising goal.

Throughout the week, our class will earn fun rewards based on how much we raise on our classroom donation tracker. When our class earns a reward that adds some extra awesomeness to our day, I will be sure to let you know!

3. Event Day- March 14! This is the epic grand finale - Bobcat Fun Run!

Our school has a fundraising goal of $19000 and we are raising funds for fine arts program support and resources

Your Next Steps:

Register at MYBOOSTER.COM today if you haven’t already, and share with family and friends!

Thank you in advance for your support of our fundraiser!

P.S. To register your student on mybooster.com search for Bobcat Fun Run.
