Thank you to our parent volunteers Ashley & Chanel for leading a successful KIDS Dash this year! Thank you to all of the families and friends that sponsored the students at OCS. Our goal was to hit $25,000 in donations this year and we have surpassed that goal. Thank you to Vons, Trader Joes and Pure Fuel for your donations at our event.
Our Community School's KIDS Dash is a sponsored run. Students will collect sponsorships from family, friends and neighbors in support of their run at the school.A few days prior to KIDS Dash, the staff at Our Community School help promote the event by holding a preview with Staff Dash. Students are encouraged to start their own KIDS Dash personal fundraising page that they can personalize with their own picture, set their own fundraising goal and share it with friends and family through email and social media to collect donations. Proceeds will go towards the Annual Giving Campaign to help fund programs for our students in the areas of PE, Technology, Music and Art.
Teachers incorporate KIDS Dash into their curriculum, by teaching students about healthy eating and exercise. They teach students how to stretch and practice running before the event. Students also create signs to cheer on their “Buddy Classes” on the day of the Dash.
