Jog-a-Thon

Today was Tony Tobin's Annual Jog-a-Thon. It is our biggest fundraiser of the year, helping us pay for assemblies, family nights, Accelerated Reader, technology, etc. Students try their best to run as many laps as possible and collect pledges for their efforts. This year's goal is $25,000!


Allison's class voted to be Siptroth's Pugs as their team name and Chessa created these adorable signs to match the theme. We had lots of parent helpers to tally laps, provide water and healthy snacks and be cheerleaders.

Allison ran 30 laps in the alloted time which was 2nd place for her class. She and Lorien ran most of the time, only stopping for grapes, oranges and some water. I'm glad I made a flat donation rather than sponsoring her per lap!

I sure hope we come close to our goal so we don't have to sell wrapping paper, candy or ANYTHING ELSE!
