WE ARE BLOWN AWAY!! These numbers are absolutely incredible!! We have so many people to thank for this including everyone who donated in our community. We have some extra special thank yous to give!!

1. 515 Creative Designs, By Libby FOR SO MUCH! Not only did Libby donate to help a few classrooms win the next prize level, she gave us an AMAZING deal on our t-shirts that turned out fabulous and also printed all the water bottle sticker registration prizes! We could not have asked for a better partner to help us with our t-shirt and printing needs!
2. Card My Yard Des Moines- East for our adorable signage at the event that we have so many cute photos of our kids posing in front of! Our signs have always turned out excellent!
3. Garrett Birkett - American Family Insurance Agent for volunteering his time and making the jumping jacks station a blast for our kids on the day of the Ram Run! We were so thankful to have had you join us!!
4. Altoona Police Department and Officer Friendly & Nala for coming out to support us during the Ram Run and even running the course a few times with the kids! They loved it and you guys truly made it a memorable experience for them!
5. ALL STAFF SEP Centennial Elementary oh my goodness! We could not have pulled the Ram Run off without all of your help and guidance! Your advice leading up to the big day, help at each station for the kids and the energy you brought to the Ram Run was unmatched. We truly believe at the PTA that our school has THE BEST staff and we mean that from the bottom of our hearts!!

And, of course, we have to thank our sponsors (who we will tag in the comments! Facebook limits 🤪) who made it possible for us to purchase t-shirts at NO COST to our students and also purchase items for the obstacle course! These funds will make such a huge impact at our school and we are thankful for the support you kick-started for us!
