The third annual St. Mary's Spartan Run is upon us! On October 17, all students will tackle a Spartan Run-inspired obstacle course on the school campus. Students will hurdle, throw, crawl and jump to raise money for our fantastic school. You can sponsor students by either making a pledge for each obstacle a student completes in a 20 minute period, or by making a flat donation for their participation on race day.

No donation is too big or too small! Donations may be made directly through this website (100% of donation passes to the school), or by dropping cash or check in the PTO mailbox by the front office. Please make checks payable to St. Mary's PTO. Your ongoing support helps our teachers focus on doing what teachers do best!

PRIZES!!
* Students that collect 2 sponsorships of any amount win a Spartans vinyl sticker

* Students that collect 75 dollars of sponsorship win Spartans sunglasses

*If 90% of students achieve at least one sponsorship, they will win a schoolwide celebration, ending classes early to enjoy treats with the whole student body!

*The boy and girl achieving the most obstacles completed win a Gatorade gift basket!

*The student that achieves the most donation amount receives a Gatorade gift basket!

The run will take place October 17 from 1-3pm on the St Mary's campus. Family and friends are welcome to come and cheer! Pre-K will complete a separate, PreK sized course on the soccer field. Any Tues/Thurs PreK student is invited to come join the fun!

Why is your donation so important? Fundraising allows our school to focus on teaching our core values: Being learners, friends, disciples, and stewards. PTO fundraising offsets the cost for students to participate in academic enrichment activities and supports teacher classroom needs. Last year the PTO contributed approximately $140,000 directly to the operating budget of the school, helping to keep our tuition costs down and our teacher salaries up. Donations to this fundraiser qualify for a 50% tax credit under Donation to Educational Charity on Idaho state taxes.
