On your mark, get set, BOOSTERTHON!!!

Dear Blount Parents,

Can you believe it??  The school year is almost gone.... and we're about to take it up a notch so GET EXCITED!  The Boosterthon Fun Run is coming to Blount Elementary and we could not be more thrilled!  This will be our biggest fundraiser of the year.  The Boosterthon Fun Run promotes fitness, leadership, and character with an overall focus on using teamwork to help our school. Please take a moment and consider what a difference the school and teachers have made in your child’s life and future. 

We are so excited about the Boosterthon team being on our campus for two full weeks with a heart and passion to impact students!  With your help, this could be the biggest fundraising effort our school has ever seen!  We hope to see you at the Funrun on Friday, May 13th.  We want to see who will be the most enthusiastic and creative parents out there so come dressed in red, white, and blue with signs to cheer on your all-star!

Thank you so much in advance for all your support and generosity through this fun-filled program!  Please take 1 minute to hear this message from Mrs. Green and Lisa Hoffman about the fun run: http://boosterthoninfo.com/blountelementary/goal of the Boosterthon Fun Run is to raise funds while teaching our kids about the importance of Fitness, Leadership, and Character. Our goal is to raise $35,000 for technology and teacher classroom needs, and we need your help!  We are very excited to have the Boosterthon Fun Run Team on campus this semester, as they will be adding value in so many ways to our students and our school!

The Boosterthon Fun Run is a nine day program that will kick off Wed, May 4th. Please look for the Boosterthon Pledge Manual that will come home with your child on this day, and be sure to visit http://funrun.com to begin entering pledges.

On the last day of the program, ALL students will participate in the Boosterthon Fun Run event which will take place Friday, May 13th.

We need your help!  We are asking parents to connect their student to ten (10) potential sponsors who can pledge a dollar amount per lap or give a flat donation towards their student’s Fun Run. Most students will run somewhere between 25-35 laps at the Boosterthon Fun Run (max laps = 35).  For example, a $5.00 pledge per lap x 25 laps would equal a $125.00 gift to the school.  All checks are made payable to Blount Elementary PTA, due one week after the Fun Run and are 100% tax deductible.  Sponsors will also be able to donate on line.

We ask you to help Blount Elementary in the following three ways:

1.Connect your student to ten (10) potential sponsors who would like to support our school through a pledge per lap or a flat donation (Remember, students will average 25-35 laps).

2.Logon to funrun.com to enter pledges (more information to follow)

3.Join us at the Boosterthon Fun Run event on Friday, May 13th!

Thank you again for being such a wonderful group of parents!  The investment you make in the lives of our students and our school is noticed and appreciated.  Get excited!  We look forward to seeing you at the Boosterthon Fun Run!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am so excited about our upcoming Boosterthon Fun Run! Parents, please mark your calendars for Friday, May 13th so you too can join us as we raise much-needed funds for our school! Our Pep Rally will be this Wednesday, May 4th with the Fun Run  concluding on Friday, May 13th.  Please start securing pledges toward the number of laps your child will complete at the Fun Run.  Most children will average 25-35 laps, 35 being the maximum number of laps. This week more detailed information will come home that will include directions on how to enter your pledges.  Remember all pledges are tax deductible.  If you haven’t yet watched the one minute video featuring Mrs. Green and (our very own PTA President, better known in our classroom as Grace’s mom) Lisa Hoffman.  Please take the time and watch it now. http://boosterthoninfo.com/blountelementary/ I am so excited about this healthy alternative to traditional product sales that can help raise money for our school!

Looking forward to seeing everyone on the 13th!

HUGS!
