Dear Parents,
We want to thank you for supporting Daniel Pratt Elementary! We also want to tell you about
our new fundraising event, the Boosterthon Fun Run. This unique program will help raise money
for our school while promoting fitness, education and character among our students. With the
Boosterthon there is no product to sell and no door-to-door selling. The Boosterthon has helped
many other schools exceed their best-ever fundraiser.
We are encouraging all of our students to find ten sponsors of at least one dollar per lap.
There are two main ways you can help your children help their school:
1.Sponsor them for the fun run.
2. Put them in contact with other potential sponsors (grandparents, other relatives,
business owners, friends, co-workers, neighbors, etc.).
This event is an excellent opportunity for our students to take ownership in the improvements of
their school while learning to articulate themselves in person and over the phone.
Thank you for your generosity, time and support.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
1. The Boosterthon begins with a pep rally designed to excite the students about helping their
school.
2. For the next six days, students will learn about fitness, education and character and will be
rewarded for getting pledges.
3. On the last day of the event there will be a Fun Run during which the students can raise
money for our school by running laps.

went to AMSTI training this summer, provided a microwave for the staff,
purchased a digital camera for the Yearbook committee, provided pizza parties
for the winning homerooms during the fund raiser, donated over $1300 to the
Lyle Vasquez Family, purchased new Playgroud Equipment, and purchased a
Computerized ID check in system to be used by staff and volunteers at DPES.
