Mark your calendars now, so you won’t miss out on Woodbury’s annual Jog-a-thon. Not only does this event assist us in emphasizing the importance of physical fitness to our students, it serves as one of our PTA’s main fundraisers. Our Jog-a-thon monies will be used to maintain and support existing student programs that have been established in past years. These programs include, but are not limited to, the assemblies, Walk Through Programs, DARE, Family Nights, LEAD Video Game Lunches, Guy Stuff, Health Clerk, Mother Daughter Tea, City Fitness, Lunch Time Activities, Parent Education Seminars, Reflections Awards, Sixth Grade Promotion, Staff Appreciation Luncheon, Student Recognition Awards, scholarships, and teacher classroom enrichment.
The Jog-a-thon will take place on Wednesday, March 16. Students will run for twenty minutes around a track set up on our field that is approximately one quarter mile. By participating in the Jog-a-thon, students will have the opportunity to win prizes. In order for this Jog-a-thon fundraiser to be successful, we need your help and participation in several ways.

- Teach your child the value of education and the importance of supporting Woodbury Elementary School.
- Encourage your child to participate, run as many laps as they are capable of running, and recruit as many sponsors as possible.
- Assist your child in obtaining sponsors and soliciting donations. Help your child identify potential sponsors and provide them with effective strategies to use in approaching those sponsors. Donors may sponsor a student for a monetary amount per lap run or give a set amount. All donations are tax deductible. Checks should be made out to Woodbury PTA.
- Assist on the day of the Jog-a-thon. We need people to assist their child’s classroom by marking students’ lap cards. In addition, we need help with set-up, take-down, filling water jugs, etc.
- Assist your child in collecting money from their sponsors and returning it by the due date.
