The Kettering Jog-a-Thon will have an Olympic theme this year. Each classroom
will represent a different country. Every student will be a winner and
receive a medal.
To ensure the success of the event and help the students raise the most money, donations of time and in-kind support are needed.
This event is among the top sources of revenue for Kettering and donors have the pleasure of knowing that every penny directly benefits the students. Money raised is used by the PTA to fund field trips (Kettering is one of the few remaining schools that provides field trips at no charge to the students), school supplies, enrichment activities, the Meet the Masters art program, library supplies, and computer lab supplies and software.
PLEASE HELP SET-UP AND/OR DONATE ITEMS NEEDED:
In-kind support in the form of small toys and trinkets are needed as prize incentives. Each student will receive two raffle tickets for prizes. All kinds of age appropriate items (e.g., water bottles, small toys, water squirters, Nerf balls, collection cards) are welcomed and will be fun incentives for the students.
Please bring your donations to the classroom. They will be collected by the Olympic Committee.
Donations of oranges and water for the event will also be needed. Please check in with your students room parent for more information about these items, questions, and other ways to help.
