Thank You!

You’re what making a difference looks like!

Thank you! Englewood Students, Families, Friends. Neighbors and Staff!

Simply put, if it was not for dedicated supporters like you, Parent Teacher Club could not support Englewood. So thank you for supplying the funds that we need to make a difference in the lives of students here in our own school.

 The totals are in, Englewood has raised = $12,214.08 

(This total may increase as the remaining packets get turned in).

And thank you to our T-shirt Sponsors and other Business that helped make our event a success:

The Jog-a-thon was a Major Success!

The entire student body of Englewood Elementary participated in the Jog-a-thon fundraiser held this past Friday, on Oct. 18, the biggest fundraiser of the year for Parent Teacher Club. Students raise money for the Jog-a-thon by collecting “sponsors” prior to the event for each lap ran or for a flat donation.

A stampede, of sorts, began in the morning hours when the signal was given and running students careened around the respective track to the beat of music played over loud speakers, in the name of raising money.

Students ran for approximately 20 minutes, and several teachers participated in the running as well. Various incentives, such as the joining the Principal for lunch at Chuck E. Cheese, Classroom parties, and medals to students who are top fundraisers and lap runners, brought excitement to the Englewood event. The final totals are not in, but so far the count is that Englewood students brought in over $11,000.

By meeting fundraising goals, the PTCs can fill their coffers in order to pay for special activities and trips for students, and classroom needs, as well as to contribute money toward things that aren’t covered in school budgets. Some of their PTC supported programs include field trips, classroom curriculum and supplies support, technology support, art support, and more.

4 hours later, an exhausted but satisfied mass of students completed the Jog-a-thon in abundant school spirit!  Thanks to the entire group of volunteers, donors, sponsors, and Jog-a-thon Chairwoman Michelle Russell for an amazing Jog-a-thon!
