What is the Fun Run?

The McDole Fun Run is an outdoor run-a-thon designed just for kids! Laced with music, a cheering squad, and prizes, this event is a fun way to get our students moving and raise money for our school all at the same time! Funds raised supply grade level books, support student activities and subsidize classroom technology—every student benefits!

What Do I Do?

°    Print this flyer from Konnect.

°    Collect Donations: Cash, Check, Online

°    Meet or exceed your $50 individual donation goal.   (That’s only five $10 gifts!)

°    Get ready to run!

How Do I Turn My Money In?

The file on Konnect contains a donation form. Print the form and use it to track all of your donations: cash, check and on-line. When you are done collecting, place the money AND the form inside an envelope labeled with your student’s information. You can use the one you received in your student's backpack this week.  We will be collecting money every Friday in September. Turn money in each week to help us track our progress and to earn special prizes! Did you only collect online donations? Then total them on your form and turn that in the same way.

Parents Join the Fun!

The McDole Fun Run can be fun for the whole family! As Run Day approaches, we will post a run schedule on Konnect. Come join the fun and cheer your student(s) on as they run for McDole! YOU are our cheering squad!

How Can I Help?

We need volunteers to assist on Run Day as well as to help us tally donations throughout September.  Would you consider helping out in one or more of these capacities?  For more information or to sign-up as a volunteer, please e-mail the Fun Run Coordinator, Stephanie Beattie, at beattiestephanie@gmail.com.

Are you a family with 3 or more students at McDole?

We understand that it can get hard to reach individual goals for each of your children, especially when you have three or more students at our school.  For that reason, we have set the following Fun Run Family Goals.

°    Families who raise $100 will earn each of their McDole students a pedometer.

°    Families who raise $200 will earn each of their McDole students a glow in the dark sports bottle.

°    For every $200 a family raises, the family will be entered in a raffle to win a Kindle Fire! (Oct. 1)
