FUN RUN
Are you ready to FUN RUN!?
Why We Run - It's-a Fun Run Time!
Wahoo! It’s-a me, Mario, and I’m here to tell you about the biggest, most exciting fundraiser of the year at DCSM — the annual Fun Run! Our goal this year is to raise a whopping $65,000! Mamma mia, that’s-a lot of coins!
Last year, your superstar support helped transform the grassy field into a multi-surface play zone with sidewalks, trees, and turf — plus new classroom goodies and scholarships for our amazing teachers. This year, we’re leveling up again! The coins we collect will help replace the turf on the elementary playground — and guess what? No more pesky black beads! We’re also adding a stone entrance sign for the Middle School. It’s gonna look fantastico!
How the Fun Run Works - Let's-a Go!
Starting Monday, September 15, the race to raise begins! Students will bring home a donation envelope with a welcome letter and prize sheet. Head over to www.mybooster.com to set up your family's fundraising page. From there, you can send emails, post on social media, and collect those golden coins (a.k.a. donations)!
Each class is aiming for $2,500 - that's-a lot of power-ups! Track your progress online and see who's leading the pack!
Company Matches - Power-Up your Donations!
Want to double your impact like grabbing a Super Mushroom? If your company offers donation matching, make sure to include proof in the donation envelope by October 2. Acceptable forms include:
- A printout from the company portal showing the approved match
- A letter from HR confirming the match
- An email with the match details
- Any official document showing the match amount and approval
Questions? Email the big boss at president@dcsmef.org!
Prizes - It's-a Party Time!
Check out the prize sheet for all the goodies! Every class that raises $2,500 gets invited to the Fun Run Prize Day Inflatable Party — complete with a bounce house and obstacle course on the new turf field! Each class gets 15 minutes of playtime, and the top class in each pod gets an EXTRA 15 minutes! Woohoo!
The party’s on October 8, and we need volunteers to help run the show. Sign up here and be part of the celebration!
The Big Day - Fun Run Friday!
Mark your calendars — the Fun Run kicks off Friday, September 26 at 8:45am sharp! Students will get their Fun Run shirts that morning and run for 10 minutes, collecting bracelets to track their laps. Middle School, Lower El, and Upper El will run around the school median, while Primary students will zoom around the turf field.
Parents, grab your cheering gear and head to the viewing areas to support your little racers! See the Run Schedule here.
Parking - Watch Out for Goombas!
The elementary parking lot closes at 8:40am, so plan to park off-site. Max Drive and King Soopers are great options. No parking on the road behind the school or on grassy areas — Bowser’s rules!
Volunteers - You're-a the Real MVPs!
We need volunteers to make this event a superstar success! You’ll get a front-row seat to the action AND a Fun Run t-shirt. Sign up here (make sure you’re logged in)!
