Get ready to cheer, run, and make a BIG difference—our annual TK–5th Grade Jog-A-Thon Fundraiser is here, and we couldn’t be more excited! This year, every dollar raised will directly fund our school’s field trips for all TK–5th grade students, helping create meaningful, hands-on learning experiences beyond the classroom.

Field trips are more than just fun days out—they are powerful learning opportunities that bring lessons to life. From visiting museums and science centers to exploring nature, farms, theaters, and historical sites, these experiences strengthen classroom learning, build curiosity, and create memories students carry for years. 

This is where our Jog-A-Thon comes in! Students will be collecting pledges from family and friends and then running their hearts out on event day. All funds raised will go toward buses, entry fees, and program costs, ensuring that every student has the opportunity to participate in these incredible learning adventures.

Location: Jim Thorpe Field

Parents are invited to cheer! (schedule coming soon)
