Jaguar 5K

The time has come to register for the Jaguar 5k! Please ensure that you sign up for our team the Pine Spring ES Bobcats. There is a prize for the biggest team and we want to win it! 

T-Shirts

T-shirts for all registered run club participants are ordered. Runners should wear these at the Jaguar 5K to show their Bobcat spirit. We are asking for a suggested donation of $7.00 per runner.

T-shirts are also available for purchase for any interested parents, teachers, siblings etc to allow them to share their PSES sprit! They are $21 each. Each purchase will help fund two runners t-shirts. Please use the google form to order any additional T-shirts: https://forms.gle/usR82kqEAMyKYzFB7

 All T-shirt payments and donations can be made via Venmo to @Lindsey-Daggle. 

*Note these t-shirts are in addition to the t-shirt from the Jaguar 5k and will be a fun way to identify our Bobcats at the race!  Thanks to Lindsay Daggle for organizing the t-shirts. 

Registering for the Jaguar 5k 

There is a 5k race and a 1 mile fun run. Most of our runners should be capable of completing the 5k (For reference 12 times around the PSES track is approximately the distance of the 5k). The cost for the 5k is currently $25 however if you sign up after April 1st the cost goes up to $35. So sign up today! The cost for the 1 mile fun run is $15. If cost is an issue for your family please send me a private email. 

Most of our PSES runners would benefit from having a partner who will run with them for the Jaguar 5k. Please try to find someone to run with your child or consider signing up yourself. If you cannot find anyone let me know and I will try to match them with an FCHS student.

Here is the link to sign up: https://www.jaguar5k.com/

When you are signing up be sure to select the “Pine Spring ES Bobcats” team. This team is open to anyone, not just those who are signed up for Running Club! If you do sign up to run with your child please join this team as well.

Recent Parent Training Recordings

Recently we have been lucky enough to have 3 of our amazing Pine Spring teachers share information about topics that are bubbling at Pine Spring. We understand that life is busy, and you need flexibility. To best support you, we have recorded the 3 sessions so that you can select the topic(s) of interest and watch them when you have time. Each session is approximately 30 minutes.

Vaccination Status

You may wish to voluntarily share your child’s COVID-19 vaccination information. However, we do not require your child’s vaccination information and no school employee will ask for your child’s vaccination status. The only exception is student-athletes, who are required to share their vaccination status to participate in their sport or activity. 

If you would like to provide us with your child’s vaccination status, please bring your child’s COVID-19 vaccination card or a photocopy of the card to Ms. Breeden, our student registrar in the main office.


Pine Spring PAWS Awards

 Has someone at Pine Spring done something above and beyond? There are two great ways to share our team's impact on you, your child, or our community. You can submit a Pine Spring PAWS Award or an  FCPS Cares. Both are great ways to let our team know that they are making a difference for you and your child.
