Hi Falcon Families,
We are so excited to announce that the Flora Vista Jog-A-Thon is coming up on Thursday, December 9th! There will be three heats:
Kinder – 1st grade will run from 8:15am-8:45am
2nd – 4th grade will run from 9:00am-9:45am
5th – 6th grade will run from 10:30am -11:30am
Just like P.E., no masks are required for the students for Jog-A-Thon participation this year. We will Zoom all heats again this year as visitors are not yet allowed.
We are hoping this will be the biggest fundraiser of the year and this year we will be using Pledgestar again, an online fundraising system, to reach our goal. 100% of the money raised goes directly to the FVPTA.
Your donations allow the PTA to pay for the following, in addition to many other benefits:
- Technology Software (BrainPop, Mystery Science, and Accelerated Reader)
- Grade Level Mini-Grants
- Individual Teacher Mini-Grants
- School Supplies
- Social Programs (Gratitude Event, 6th Grade Promotion, Spring Social)
- Academic Programs (FV Reads, Reflections)
- Health and Safety Programs (Inclusion in Action and Kindness Week)
This year our goal is for each child to raise at least $100, and with 400 plus students, we hope to raise over $40,000! In order to do this, we encourage each child with the help of their parents to send at least 10 emails to family and friends through Pledgestar.
