Hi Parents, 

Spartan Sprint is our largest fundraiser and funds the programs we have throughout the school year. Our Spartan Sprint is on Friday, October 9 this year and it is an exciting event for our students. We'll send out information on how you can help by volunteering as we get closer to the date.  You should receive a bright handout sometime soon for our Spartan Sprint this October 9th. 

In the meantime, please help your child with reaching out to friends & family for sponsorships/pledges. There are two ways you can do this:
  • 1. (Preferred) Use our online platform Spartan Sprint on 99 Pledges to create your child's individual page and then share your unique link with friends & family. Below are some screenshots of how to do this. 
    • Click on the "Add a Participant" option. 
    • Enter your child's full name, at least 1 parent email, and select your child's teacher. Click "add" and that's it. You'll then get an email from 99 Pledges with your child's page info as well as updates when donations/pledges are made on their behalf. 
  • 2. Use the paper form we will send home soon. You'll collect money in either cash or checks payable to Spangler Elementary PTA and turn them in after the event (Monday 10/12) 
If you have any questions or issues with set up, please reach out to us on family chat or via email at spanglerelementarypta@gmail.com for support. 

Here's some additional Spartan Sprint Info: 
  • Our goal is $25,000. Last year, we raised a little close to $20k and we're confident this year can be stronger. 
  • Classes will go out throughout the day (by grade) and run for 15 minutes. Popsicle treats will be handed out afterwards. We'll send out the running schedule as well as volunteer sign up as we get closer to the date.
  • Students will get to wear their Sprint T-shirt (Order them if you haven't already). Everyone is also encouraged to get into the neon vibe by wearing either the neon shorts, socks, headbands (just a few examples) to keep up with the neon spirit.  Help your child plan an appropriate outfit for the day that is comfortable/safe to run in.
