There’s something special about walking onto the Grant Elementary campus. Kids who are excited to learn. Teachers who go above and beyond. A community that shows up for its school, year after year. That spirit doesn’t happen by accident. It’s built together—and it’s worth supporting.

This year, our Grant community has an opportunity to make an even greater difference. As schools across California navigate a challenging budget environment, PTA fundraising helps supplement available school resources and preserve many of the programs, supplies, and student supports that are an important part of the Grant experience.

Right now, PTA fundraising helps support:
--- Instructional aides who provide additional support for students and classrooms
-- PE and garden programming that keeps our kids moving, learning, and growing
-- Everyday school supplies for classrooms and our school
-- Additional resources for teachers, including instructional materials and digital learning tools
-- Enrichment opportunities that help make the Grant experience special

These programs and resources are made possible in large part by the generosity of our Grant community, and what we are able to provide depends on what we raise together.

That’s where the Jog-a-Thon comes in—our biggest fundraiser and one of the best days of the year on campus. Sneakers on, music up, and the whole school out on the field together. Every runner, walker, and jogger who crosses that finish line is doing more than getting exercise. They’re helping provide the programs, people, and resources that directly benefit Grant students.

This isn’t just a fundraiser. It’s our school community coming together to invest in our kids. Every donation, every lap, and every student giving it their all adds up to help keep Grant the special place we know and love.

Lace up. Show up. Let’s make this our biggest Jog-a-Thon yet!
