Why do we have the Fun Run? This is our major PTA fundraiser for our school for the year. Our goal is to raise $28,000 so that we can purchase items for the school to benefit our students and staff. If students can try to raise $50 for this important effort, we will meet our goal! And when the students meet their goals, lots of fun happens at Deer Park! See the prizes below!
Fundraising Dates: Starts September 22, 2023 and ends October 20, 2023
What is the Fun Run? During a 4 week period we raise money for our school with individual/grade/whole school incentives. Students ask donors to sponsor their run during our FUN RUN event, which helps the school & PTA fund items for the school, staff support, technology, f assemblies, and large-scale improvement projects like the track we are currently planning.
On Friday, October 13th, during the school day, students will participate in the Fun Run Event with fun physical activity field day games during their specials block. The kids will run around the bus loop while listening to music by our DJ and participate in fun group activities. At the end kids will receive a freeze pop. We ask students to register online so their donations can be tracked and they can earn fun prizes for themselves, their grade, and the entire school!
Does my child have to fund raise in order to participate? No! Everyone is welcome at the Fun Run and each student will participate in the outdoor fun on October 13!
