Jog-A-Thon: Friday, May 16th During the School Day
Our 2nd Annual Jog-A-Thon will be Friday May, 16th, during the school day! Last year we had sooooo much fun and raised a lot of money for our school at the same time!!! So we are doing it again! You should now have a Jog-A-Thon packet. If you don't have one, ask your child's teacher or get an extra one from the office. 
On the cover letter you will see there are 3 ways to raise money: 
1. Cash in the Envelope (turn in May 16th)
2. Online (see the info on the information sheet)
3. Venmo to James Monroe PTO (@Monroepto--look for the eagle)
This fundraiser was highly successful last year. Your child will be collecting flat donations (not by the number of laps they run.)
All money is due Friday, May 16th. There will be prizes awarded for top fundraisers!

If you need another envelop, stop by the office to pick one up!
