The Fund Run is Burlington Elementary’s largest annual fundraiser. On October 17, our Trailblazers will run laps, cheer each other on, and have a blast—all while raising money for paraprofessional staff, field trip transportation, free community events, teacher appreciation, classroom supplies, and more. Last year, we raised over $21,000, and we can do it again this year!
Find your student’s page by searching their first name here. Please return your packet & all pledges to school on or before Tuesday, Oct 21.
Fund Run Results are in! Together, we raised $25,549.25 for Burlington Elementary, which goes toward paraprofessional staff, field-trip transportation, free community events, staff appreciation, classroom supplies, and more. And because you all did such a great job and beat our goal, Mr. Novak will get silly stringed at Friday’s Halloween party which starts at 2:30pm! Students also earned class-wide prizes at the giveaway during first trimester’s FLAME ceremony – more details coming soon.
