Jog-a-thon Fundraising drive has begun!

The Pack is back!! We kicked off fundraising with a Jog-a-thon  themed assembly featuring our fiesty mascot, the raccoon. Fundraising packets went home last week, so look for them in your child’s backpack if they didn’t share it with you. We already have 51 kids signed up and are almost 10% to our goal. Way to start strong! Sign up this week and get started with your fundraising.

Volunteers Needed!

Are you interested in helping with the Jog-a-thon? Sign up here. Please note that all on-campus volunteers will need to be approved through the district. Make sure to get approved as soon as possible! Steps on how to get approved (Level 1) can be found here: Volunteer – Redwood City School District (rcsdk8.net)

Jog-a-thon  – Prizes needed

We are working hard to offer some great prizes for the Jog-a-thon, but we need your help! Are you willing to donate a gift card or experience that our students might like? Please help us make the Jog-a-thon an exciting experience for all the kids. Contact Emily Schannep (emily@roosevelt-pta.com)  if you are able to help us build the prize booty
