The Fun Run is hosted by PTF and powered by the Boosterthon company every year. It is our biggest fundraiser, and every year, because of the hard work of our teachers, students, and parents, we are able to gift the school a generous donation to be used in areas that need attention. In years past, we’ve been able to provide playground equipment, shading, building updates, and much more.
This year, our goal is $47,500, and the majority of the funds raised will go to finishing out the gym with PE equipment, volleyball equipment, storage racks, bins, portable stage, floor protectors for events, classroom technology, and classroom shelving and storage. The Fun Run also funds our PTF events like Donuts with Dudes, Morning with Mom, Grandparent’s Day, Field Day, Teacher Appreciation Week, Teacher Classroom Reimbursement, etc.
K3-K5 will have a Glow Dance Fit video challenge in the MPR in lieu of running. 1st through 6th graders will walk/run around the campus (just like the Jingle Bell Run).
PTF also purchases t-shirts for teachers and students to wear for the Fun Run. These shirts have been ordered and will be delivered the week of the Fun Run. (Sixth grade has their tie-dye shirts.)
Important dates to remember:
Registration Opens:

K3 - 6th Grade HCA Families,
Please join us for Donuts with Dudes hosted by HCA’s PTF.
We are excited to meet any dad, step dad, grandfather, uncle - any male figure who is special to your student!
Donut holes, coffee, juices, and milk will be served.
This year due to construction and limited parking, Dr. Helmer has asked that we have this event on 2 different mornings. We have chosen to do this alphabetically so that families with multiple students only need to come one time. Please take note of the two dates below.
Student's Last Name A-L
Friday, September 16th
7:00a - 7:45a
Heritage Hall
Serving will end at 7:45a.
Student's Last Name M-Z
Friday, September 23rd
7:00a - 7:45a
Heritage Hall
Serving will end at 7:45a.
A sign up for volunteer opportunities has been emailed by Room Parents.
For questions about Donuts with Dudes, please contact Amanda Cummings at amandalcummings3@gmail.com or Stephanie Knoerr at jbcmom@me.com.
