The Fund Run is Burlington Elementary’s largest annual fundraiser. On October 9, 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 $26,000, and we can do it again this year!
Packets will be sent home and student fundraising pages will become available online in mid-September. Please return your packet & all pledges to school on or before Thursday, Oct 15 to earn a prize!
