Next Friday is our annual PTA Fun Run. I brought the idea of the Fun Run to our PTA nine years ago in hopes of creating a one time fundraising event for our families. There use to be several smaller fundraising events like selling cookies, wrapping paper, pizza kits, etc. I hoped to create an event that was fun, easy for our kids and families, and generated a significant amount of money for the PTA and Spring Mills. We have been fortunate over the years to raise anywhere from 9,000-17,000 dollars from the support of our community and many wonderful people organizing the event. As a result, PTA has been able to support purchasing books for students, projectors, documents cameras,smart boards, and host many great assemblies for our students. Many things we simply would not have without that funding. I am reaching out to you again for your support. There are many people involved in making this another great event this year. Anything you can do to support the event financially is hugely appreciated. The goal is that every student try to receive a pledge of 40 dollars. We are hoping we not only reach this goal at Spring Mills, but we far exceed it. As always, thanks for your support as we work to have another great Fun Run this year. Hope to see you out there next Friday!
