Parents,
Dear Ford Elementary
Families:
Thank you VERY much for
supporting Ford Elementary’s first ever Boosterthon
Fun Run! We have all come together and done an
incredible job to help our school reach our goal of
a new Science Lab!!
While the Boosterthon Fun Run
involved EVERY CHILD
regardless of financial participation,
80% of Ford Elem. students
participated financially
in the program! What a
great time of team building it has been! Here
are a few of the facts:
·
As a whole, the
students averaged 31.8 laps at the Boosterthon Fun
Run (this is about 2 miles)
·
A total of 26,792 laps were run by Ford Elem
students (this is 1,685 miles)…or simply put -
our students “ran” to the Grand Canyon yesterday.
Now that’s dreaming BIG!!!
·
Pledges
have been received from 49 states and over 10
different countries
·
Over 20 classrooms
received pledges from at least 20 different states &
countries
·
If
we collect 90% of our pledges, we will have
raised close to $40,000 for the Science
Lab, our classrooms and students of Ford Elementary.
Also, two classrooms will
enjoy a Pizza
celebration from Cici’s
Pizza by accomplishing the following:
·
The
classroom with the top %
of pledges collected by
December 2nd
·
The
classroom with the top
dollar amount collected
Please use the red collection
envelope provided for your child to use when
collecting pledges. Please
return this envelope by
Tuesday, December 2nd.
Checks should be made
payable to CCSF -
Ford ES Foundation.
Remember all
contributions are 100% tax deductible! 10% of
the collections will go directly back to the
classrooms!
Now the final lap has to be run. Let’s make it 100%
at Ford Elementary! It is so important to bring in
the pledges dollars in order to make the Science Lab
a reality.
Thank
you, again, for supporting academic excellence at
Ford Elementary School!
