Dear Friends and Family,

I am lacing up my sneakers next month and running my best at the 11th annual Dicken Dash. This event raises money for me and my classmates to continue to be enriched with fun field trips, curriculum enrichment, special community events throughout the year like the ice cream social and the Pumpkin patch, teacher grants and helps to support our entire Dicken Elementary School community.

I would appreciate it (and so would my 300 schoolmates) if you could help support me.

Thanks in advance for your support!

About this fundraiser:

The Dicken Dash has been our primary fundraiser for more than 12 years. Every fall, our students train in gym class and through the Dicken Running Club to run laps to raise money for their school. Along with community sponsors, family and friends pledge the runners, and everyone celebrates the success of our fundraiser when it’s all over.

Last year over 60% of the PTO's annual budget came from the Dash fundraiser. The funds raised will help the PTO with all of our spending priorities for the year. Some of these priorities include:

Academic Achievement: books for each student during March is Reading Month, In-school performances and assemblies, field trips, Super Science Day, WESO (Science Olympiad) and teacher stipends.

Parent & Community Support: Hospitality events such as the Pumpkin Patch, Ice Cream Social and Winter Walk, Yearbooks for all students, 5th grade promotion event, healthy snacks for students in the office and extra winter outerwear for students.

PTO Grants: Decodable readers for early elementary students, cursive curriculum for the 4th graders, Mystery Science curriculum which supplements 75% of Dicken classrooms.

School Enhancement: Updating the Staff Lounge, stocking the staff supply closet with wipes, kleenex, paper towel, printer paper and additional classroom supplies.

We are looking forward to a very successful and FUN event.
