Count Down to Cougar Dash!
Our Cougar Dash Fundraiser assembly is Friday, September 6th, and the run is scheduled for Friday, September 13th. This is one of our largest fundraiser of the year and we need your help to make it successful!
We are asking each student to set a fundraising goal of $100 in order to reach our $55,000 school fundraising goal.
What is the Cougar Dash?
The Cougar Dash is an all-school fun-run and fundraiser. On run day, students will run as many laps as possible in 30 minutes around a 1/16th mile track. Students will run with only their grade level, and most students will complete about 25-30 laps. This is a really fun day for the kids - we’ll have a DJ playing fun music and parents are invited to cheer on their kids. Prior to the run, students will request donations from family and friends, as either a dollar amount per lap or a flat donation. Students compete on an individual and class level to earn rewards based on how many laps they run and how much money they raise.
