Roosevelt School’s biggest fundraiser of the year is our annual Jog-a-thon, and it is coming up on Thursday, March 30, 2023! The Jog-a-thon raises much-needed money for the many programs and school upgrades funded by the Roosevelt PTA and is also an opportunity to raise awareness about healthy habits. Our goal is to raise $50,000 for school upgrades (like the upper-campus playground!), art classes, music classes and more. Students will run (a few classrooms at a time) for 15 minutes around the lower campus field to some rockin’ music, with their friends by their side, and their family and staff cheering them on. Read on for ways you can get involved!

Be the t-shirt art contest winner!

It’s time to put your artistic talents to use for the Jog-a-thon t-shirt design contest! Our theme this year is “Dream It, Believe It, Achieve It”. The winning design will be printed on over 700 t-shirts. All submissions are due Tuesday, February 14th. Any questions contact Kristina Perino kristina.perino@gmail.com. 

Jog-a-thon Sponsors Wanted 

Are you a small business owner, or do you know someone who is a small business owner looking to promote their business to our community? As a sponsor, the Jog-a-thon t-shirts will have the company logo on the back and will be not just worn for the event, but the shirts become school-approved dress code shirts for the future. If you are interested in sponsoring the Jog-a-thon contact Jenny Barnes at jenny@roosevelt-pta.com. The deadline for sponsors is 2/28. We’d like to thank this year’s generous sponsors; join them and help us reach our $8,000 goal. Please show your support by visiting their businesses and tell them THANK YOU!
