How it works

The Fun Run occurs in the fall, typically near the end of September, hosted by our very own amazing⚡️Purple Flash⚡️.

✋Prior to the Fun Run date, students are asked to collect pledges from friends, family, and neighbors. (Either a flat dollar amount or $ per lap) Students will be provided an envelope to track pledge amounts. No money is collected before the Fun Run date.

☀️ The event is held throughout one day, with each grade participating during their specials time.

👩🏻‍🦽All students can participate, whether or not they raise money, and no matter their running ability.

⏱️ Students run as many laps as they can in 20 minutes.

👟 The kids run a track on the Bradley playground field: ~50 yards for younger kids, ~150 yards for older kids.

💦 Water and snacks are provided.

💰After the Fun Run, envelopes will be sent back home with the number of laps the student ran and the total amount due based on their pledges. Payments can be made by cash, check, or credit card using the special payment link provided. Money will need to be returned by the due date to be eligible for the prize drawing.

🏆 Students & classrooms receive prizes for their efforts
