Verdi Elementary's 31st Annual Fun Run!
Friday May 17, 2024
What is the Verdi ES Fun Run?
- The Verdi ES Fun Run is our main Spring fundraiser. On the day of the Fun Run the entire Verdi ES student body gathers in front of the school, all wearing their Fun Run t-shirts. They run/walk one mile through the Verdi Lake Estates neighborhood. There are many parents and teachers who monitor and accompany students while on the run and additional neighbors come out to cheer them on. This is a non-competitive event and we want everyone to have fun! After the run, students enjoy popsicles and visits from the Fire Department and Sheriff's Department.
How does the Fun Run earn money for our school?
- Students seek pledges from sponsors for participating in the run. A pledge can be any amount and students should seek them from friends, relatives, and neighbors. This year's proceeds will go directly to resurfacing our community tennis courts and funding our school tennis program that is provided to all students.
Online Fun Run Pledges
- In addition to paper donation tickets sent home with students, sponsors can choose to make an online pledge. Please be sure to include the sponsor's name and pledge amount as well as the student's name and grade/teacher for them to receive credit for the donation. The sponsor will receive an emailed receipt for their records.
