Willow Springs Elementary Kicks Off Boosterthon

September 24, 2019


Boostherton Pep Rally

Students enjoyed the first pep rally of the year to kick off Boosterthon with Awesome Andrew and Wreck It Randle.


Parents,

Our Willow Springs Fun Run program kicked off today with an exciting Pep Rally, and we are thrilled about this year’s program! We’ve asked the fundraising experts at Booster to power our two-week Fun Run program, making our fundraising simpler, more profitable, and more FUN. Our Fun Run includes EVERY student in a fun, fitness event that focuses on character while helping our school raise much-needed funds. 

This year, our entire school is raising funds for an electronic marquee, hydration stations, and PTA initiatives. Our goal is to raise $35,000, and we need YOUR help!

Here’s how you can support Willow Springs Elementary:

  • Register your student on funrun.com by searching “Willow Springs Elementary.” Once you do, your student will receive a FREE GIFT just for being registered. Then, use funrun.com to log pledges for your child.
  • Reach out to sponsors. Every student’s goal is to connect with 10 sponsors, and with funrun.com’s smart sharing tools, reaching out to sponsors is easier than ever. The easiest way to get pledges is to simply click the Facebook share button on your student’s pledge page. Plus, with a few clicks you can create a custom Student Star Video to share on social media. You can also use the Easy Emailer to connect with friends and family. As you gather pledges, be sure to record each sponsor’s e-mail address so they have the opportunity to easily pay for your student’s pledge online via credit card.
  • Ask your child about the MindSpark: Wild West Character Lesson of the Day! This year’s theme combines S.T.E.A.M. skills with character-building. In this thrilling Sci-Fi-Western theme, your students and the MindSpark kids must compete in six “Character Duels” to rescue Dr. Shock. Along the way, they’ll learn about Honesty, Gratitude, Generosity, Kindness, and Humility. Join along by watching the fun character videos with your child on funrun.com.
  • Come to the Fun Run next Thursday 10/3! All students are included in the Fun Run, regardless of financial participation. Remember, students will be running/completing 30-35 laps, and we would love for you to come out and cheer!

To put the FUN in Fundraising this year here are some of our very exciting challenges:

  • School Goal Challenge! If we can reach our fundraising goal by the fun run, Mr. Taylor will kiss an animal!
  • 50 State Challenge! We have a goal to get at least ONE pledge from ALL 50 states! If we can do it before the fun run, Mr. Taylor will work on the roof our school! They will LOVE coming to school the day this happens!
  • Top class challenge! The top pledging class at the fun run will earn something awesome as well! Stay tuned.
  • Nightly Boosterthon Challenges! Every day until the fun run, the Boosterthon team will have a fun fundraising challenge so be sure to ask your students what all the excitement is about daily!

 

Thank you for supporting our school. We hope to see you next week at the Fun Run!

Sincerely,

Willow Springs
