St. John School Jog-a-thon – Let the Fundraising Begin!

St. John School is Celebrating 100 Years of Faith, Academics, and Community.  We’re excited to start off the school’s centennial year with our annual fundraiser, the St. John School Jog-a-thon, presented by Springfree Trampoline!  Jog-a-thon will take place September 21-23.  Students in PreK through 8th grade are encouraged to participate in this fun fall fundraiser which helps support the school’s annual operating budget.  Rain or shine, students will run/walk a course in and around campus at a scheduled time from September 21-23.  Be sure to read the 2022 Jog-a-thon information packet for details on scheduled jog times, PRIZES, and more!

Fundraising will run through September 30.   Jog-a-thon donations are collected through the school’s personalized webpage at 99Pledges.  Our fundraising goal is $100,000.  You should have received an email from 99Pledges with a link to your student’s pledge page.  Simply share your link with friends and family and make your flat or per lap donation.  If you don’t receive a link, you can search and find your student’s page here.  Students of families with $150 or more in donations by Friday September 9, will be entered into a $25 Scrip raffle.  Another Scrip raffle will be held on Friday September 16.  Turn in your coupon (included with Jog packet) to your homeroom teacher for a chance to win!

Volunteers Needed

We will need a few volunteers to help us on Jog-a-thon days.  Sign up here to help our school have a successful and fun event!  Please refer to the Jog-a-thon packet for your child’s scheduled run time.

Jog-a-thon Shirts

T-shirts will be sent home the week of September 12.
