Boosterthon Update

Thank you to everyone that has already registered for our main school fundraiser.  We are pleased to announce that we have reached our 65% registration threshold and our ultimate rewards have been unlocked!!! 

At Kings Park, this means our Admin team is going to get in on the action of racing around the Boosterthon track wearing inflatible costumes! We are looking forward to getting in the Fun Run spirit, and wonder who will end up being the fastest.

Registering is easy and free, and all students who register will receive a keychain. ️ Register Now On MYBOOSTER.COM 

The goal is to raise $40,000 for field trips, outdoor benches and picnic tables, color copiers, and classroom furniture at both schools, as well as for other school and PTA projects.  Students can win prizes for collecting pledges.  ALL students will participate in the Fun Run event on Friday, September 20th, regardless of financial participation.  ALL students will also receive a T-Shirt to wear for the event and for future spirit days.  Be sure to check out the easy sharing functions on MYBOOSTER.COM to let others know how they can help support our school.  Every pledge helps!

More information on the program can also be found on the PTA website. The schedule for Fridays' fun run is also posted, including a link to sign-up to volunteer for the day of the event.
