Welcome to the 2019 Race for Education!

First welcome back to all our students and welcome to all our new ones too!  For those of you who are not familiar with Race for Education, this is our PTO's largest fundraising effort.  We Race every two years.  Students gather sponsorship donations from family and friends and then on October 18th, they "race" laps around a marked course at Schaeffer.  PTO is also fortunate enough to receive some very generous corporate sponsor donations from our local community as well.  

So how much do we hope to raise?  Our goal this year is $25,000!  We know this can be done, but not with out your help.  

This year there will be some new fundraising ideas and events to keep things fun for the kids! 

 In the Race for Education packets sent home there is a new Fundraising Grid.  This is a fun little bingo type guide to help your family gather donations.  If you fill the grid you will have raised $100 for Schaeffer!  We will also do a raffle from all the completed grids and award that student a prize. 

At our Race For Education Pep Rally we will also be announcing a new fundraising effort that comes with some pretty funny outcomes for our teachers.  

Overall we want all our kids to have fun and learn what it means to donate and how special that can be.  Any new Race information or tips will be posted here on our blog. If your family has any questions please don't hesitate to contact the Schaeffer PTO!
