Leopard Laps Fun Run Parents! This year’s main fundraiser is the Leopard Laps Fun Run! It’s a 9-day program that kicks off with a Pep Rally on Monday October 30th. Families will then gather pledges for every lap your student runs (30-35 laps), and we’ll celebrate at the Fun Run on Thursday November 9th. With our big goal of raising funds for classroom technology so we can have one device for EVERY student to use while at school, we asked the Fun Run experts at Boosterthon to power our Fun Run and make it more profitable, easier, and fun. Students will also experience an amazing character theme, CASTLE QUEST!, an English castle theme all about being brave and living with character. On their quest to regain Bravemore Castle, students will learn the “SIX VIRTUES of a TRUE HERO” from a cast of colorful characters. Donations will go toward classroom technology and to the entire 9-day experience. So please help our school by reaching out to sponsors. Also, all families are invited to come out and cheer on your student at the Fun Run! Thank you for your support! Leopard Laps Fun Run Times: IDS K-1 4-5 2-3
