Bailey Lake Elementary PTA introduces Friday, September 26,
2014
Be INSPIRED To Do Your Best! Something new and exciting for all
of us! We are planning a Fun Run this year!
Our FUN RUN fundraiser is scheduled for Friday, September 26,
2014 (rain or shine), during the school day. This will be BLEs
largest fundraiser this year. How does it work? Your children will
be running/walking for dollars! On September 26th they will
walk/jog/run as many laps as possible around our 1/10 mile asphalt
track in the 15 minutes allotted. This will be a fun and exciting
day with a DJ, mascot, as well as fellow classmates cheering each
other on. We will celebrate our schools accomplishments in an
assembly at the end of the day, announcing prizes and offering
random drawings. Pledge donations and forms will be due no later
than Wednesday, September 24.
Our FUN RUN theme is Be INSPIRED To Do Your Best because it
MATTERS and we hope you will join our fundraising efforts. Every
contribution MATTERS; and everyone MATTERS in making a difference.
Whether it is a $2 pledge or a $200 contribution every penny
MATTERS and will add up to continue to provide BLE with excellent
programs.
The money raised from this event will support our many fun and
educational programs at BLE such as: Family Bingo Night, March
Reading, Seuss Fair, Reflex Math and Reading programs online, Field
Day, and all the Field Trip excursions geared towards each grade
levels curriculum, additionally a specific percentage will go
automatically to each classroom to help with extra resources the
teachers need throughout the year. These funds offer our students a
much richer educational experience, plus they provide for many fun
and spirit filled BLE activities and events.
Based on our projected budget for the 2014 2015 school year, our
goal is to raise $24,000. If we reach this goal, it spares us from
having to implement numerous small fundraisers throughout the year,
i.e., candy sales, bake sales, pizza kits, magazine sales, etc.
PTA School Goal $24,000 --------- Goal Per Student $40
----------- My goal is $
Each child participant that submits a pledge will receive a
t-shirt! Should we reach our goal of $24,000, our principal, Mr.
Gualtieri, has agreed to die his hair blue for the day!
We know these are difficult times, but we hope that your family
will be able to help us raise some funds. BLE has always been
blessed to have such generous households. We thank you for your
continued support and enthusiasm for BLE programs and activities.
