Dear Lillie B. Haynes, Flanders and Niantic Center families:
The PTA’s of the three elementary schools will be hosting a “Pumpkin Dash Jog-aThon” (rain or shine) on Monday, October 12, 2015 (Columbus Day) from 2:00 to
4:00 at the East Lyme High School Track located at 30 Chesterfield Road in East
Lyme. This will be a parent-run school fundraiser. Our hope is that it will be a fun
afternoon of physical activity that teaches children what they can accomplish when
they set a goal. Children will feel the pride of their accomplishments both because of
their physical feat, and by knowing they are adding to their school’s enrichment
programs in the process.
Students will have the opportunity to set a personal goal of how many laps they
want to walk or run. Students will then reach out to friends, family and neighbors
for sponsorship with a flat pledge amount collected prior to the event. The funds
raised will be collected at the event and will be used to further support your school’s
enrichment programs. Students are encouraged to:
 Be Healthy
 Be Fit
 Be Helpful
 Be Committed
 Be Silly
Students who are unable to raise funds may still come and jog with their classmates.
A parent or guardian must accompany all participating students to the Jog-aThon. There will not be childcare provided and students cannot be left alone at the
event.
This event will not be a competition between the schools. Students from all three
elementary schools will run together by grade in a scattered start format after the
group warm-up. It will be a great opportunity to catch up with friends from all over
town or to meet some new friends. Additionally, it will take place prior to the 4th
grade mile run test planned for later in October.
We need many volunteers to make this event successful. Please look out for our
requests for assistance in the coming weeks. Your time can be spent cheering on the
joggers, making a donation (bottled water, healthy snacks or various other
supplies), handing out water, setting up, cleaning up, or helping to track laps.
Students can show their school or town spirit by wearing their school’s colors or
East Lyme colors. Students may also wear one of their town team’s jerseys.
We look forward to seeing you for a fun family event to help make our schools the
best they can be!
