2023 Ms Hawkins FunD Run Page

Hello Charter Oak Families and Friends!

Thank you for supporting our school community! Donations to our 2023 FUNd RUN! allow Charter Oak PTO to host events (like the Fall Picnic and Cultural Day), maintain our Schoolyard Habitats, contribute to 5th grade end-of-the-year activities, and support our faculty when they need it most –like the coffee cart at Conference Week– and so much more!

The Charter Oak PTO's mission is about making connections. The FUN-d RUN 2023 is our only Fundraiser of the year. Our budget is not very big compared to most schools of our size, and everything goes back to our school community.

**FUNd RUN ALL-SCHOOL GOAL = $14,000**

FUNd RUN DETAILS:

• What is it? The FUNd RUN is an inclusive, energizing and FUN event that is back for its 4th year! All students enjoy a fun outdoor activity while bonding with classmates! Please join us this year for the 2023 FUNd RUN on Thursday, October 26! (Rain date Friday, October 27)

• Who can participate? EVERYONE - preK through Grade 5. Every student will run, walk or dance laps and receive a chain with plastic feet charms and a chance to win more prizes! Parents and Caregivers- Come cheer your children on during their recess!

• What about prizes? In addition to our school-wide goal, each classroom can earn prizes based on their # of laps, # of donations and total donation dollars. Prizes like Extra Recess, PJ Day, Movie Day with popcorn, Ice Cream Sundae Bar, pizza parties, and more.

• What if we reach the ALL-SCHOOL GOAL? If we reach our school-wide goal of $14,000 students & families will have an outdoor movie night hosted by the PTO.
