Rivendell’s Fun Run is on September 29th! Fun Run is a special tradition where the community comes together to cheer on students as they run laps to raise money for our school. As many of you know, we are a 501(c)(3) non-profit, so contributions are eligible for tax deduction. Funds go directly into improving our school and enhancing student experiences. This year, the theme is “Robot Rock” and our goal is to raise $42,000 to support the school’s technology fund. We’ll be purchasing additional SMART boards and educational apps to diversify and improve students’ learning experiences.
The way Fun Run works is students will collect pledges from friends, families, neighbors, or anyone who would like to contribute. The donor declares an amount they would like to donate per lap the student runs, or just donate a flat amount. Each child will have an estimate on how many laps they can run based on practicing in P.E. At the Fun Run, volunteers tally each lap on the students’ number bib as they pass by, so they can report back to the donors letting them know how many laps they ran and the total donation due.
After the Fun Run, students celebrate with delicious snacks and refreshing drinks. It’s a very special time to come together and remind our community of all the reasons we love Rivendell. Everyone’s support is greatly valued and makes a significant impact on our school.
