Grab your TENT and join us at the CASTLEMONT CAMP GROUND to help our CAMPERS have a successful HIKE at this year's Jog-A-Thon.  We need volunteers to be sure the CAMPERS have a great time and are not distracted by the majestic FOREST. 

Schedule:  The students will run in three groups.   Warm-ups begin 15 minutes prior to start time.

TK/K/1 grades:  8:50 to 9:20 a.m.

2/3 grades:  9:30 to 10:10 a.m.

4/5 grades:  10:20 to 11:10 a.m.

Volunteers:  If you’ve signed up to volunteer, please check in at the volunteer table (located on the playground near room 19) to get your name tag.  If you haven’t signed up yet and can help, please check at the volunteer table on the day of the event

Pledge Forms: There are two ways to raise money and earn prizes: per lap pledges and flat pledges. 

Per lap pledges will be turned in after students have run.  Please collect and turn in all pledge money by Friday, June 1. Extra pledge forms are in the office.

Lunch: Please provide your child’s usual lunch.  Hot lunch will be available as usual. Each child will get an Otter Pop snack after they run.

T-Shirts: Each student will receive a Jog-A-Thon shirt on Friday.  A limited number of t-shirts will be for sale for adults and younger siblings at the Jog-A-Thon for $10.

As the school year continues through Spring and into the last days of school, please encourage your children to remember to follow the 3Rs (Respect, Responsibility, and the Right to be Safe).

• Continue to come to school on time and ready to learn
• Follow the teacher’s instructions
• Make good decisions
• Keep yourself and others around you safe.
