Jog-a-Thon 2024

Here Comes Summer Fun!

The Annual View Acres Jog-a-Thon will be held on May 31st., and is one of our largest, student-driven fundraisers. It is a fun way to promote health and fitness for students while raising money to pay for field trips, community events, our school garden and teacher support. Additionally, the money raised will support many classroom and school needs which are not met by the current district budget. Without these donations we would not be able to provide these wonderful enhancements to the education of our View Acres students. Our fundraising goal for this year is $10,000.
