Students outline Great Green Run fundraiser and prize incentives
Summary
Elementary and intermediate students presented the Great Green Run & Roll scheduled for Oct. 4, explaining running options, fundraising prizes and uses of funds for the school garden, field trips and special events; PTO organizers were credited.
Students from La Crescent-Hokah described the Great Green Run & Roll fundraiser, which will be held on Oct. 4. Participants will run either a half-mile or one-mile course at school and students may wear event shirts; fundraising packets will include bingo-style activity cards and prize tiers.
Isabelle Scamp, who identified herself during the presentation, explained the fundraising incentives: students earn entries into a drawing for larger prizes (one entry for reaching $100 and an additional entry for every $10 raised beyond that) and classrooms that raise the most money can earn a special party. The presentation emphasized safe, supervised fundraising ("ask an adult to help"), and noted funds will support special events, the school garden and field trips. The students credited the PTO for organizing and providing healthy snacks and support on event day.
A student board member suggested producing a student-authored community letter encouraging positive fan behavior at athletic events and reported on leadership-conference takeaways. Board members and administrators praised the student presentations and noted they give useful perspective on engagement and logistics.
The event details and fundraising mechanics were presented as guidance for families; registration, packet return and prize-claim deadlines were noted in the student presentation.
