📣 Fun Run: We Want to Hear From You!

Thank you for making this year's Fun Run such a fun celebration of our school! We'd love your feedback on what worked and what we can improve, so future Fun Runs are even better.

The survey takes just 3–5 minutes: https://forms.gle/ufD3mbMJP8KhrEHTA

Please share your thoughts by Friday. Thanks!

Thank you for being part of our Fun Run on October 2nd, 2026! This event celebrated our school and marked the end of our biggest fundraiser of the year. We set a lofty goal to see what we're capable of: $25,000. In the end we fell short but we still raised an incredible $17k to support the PTO's bud...

☀️ Sun's out, Fun Run's out! ☀️

After weeks of rain, we finally got our perfect day, and what a day it was! Our Clive Tigers ran HUNDREDS of laps, showed off their tattoos, threw down at dance parties, and blew so. many. bubbles. 🫧🏃‍♀️🎶

💛 So far, we've raised an amazing $16,395! 💛

Every dollar supports the PTO's annual budget, which covers classroom start-up funds, indoor recess supplies, conference meals for our teachers, community events like Skate Night, field trip transportation, and so much more.

🎯 There's still time to help us get closer to our goal!

Donations are open through Friday, Oct. 9. Lots of students are close to earning another prize or another raffle ticket for the grand prize drawing, so a final share with family and friends could make a big difference!

🎟️ Raffle drawings are coming soon!

A huge THANK YOU to our students, teachers, staff, volunteers, sponsors, and families. You made this day so much fun, and we're so grateful for you! 🐯💛
