Boosterthon Pep Rally - Tuesday, October 16th

What better way to kick off our school fundraiser than with a pep rally!  Students and teachers are ready for their "Epic Adventure".  Help support our students as they put character action into practice and raise money for our Boosterthon Fun Run!

Highway Road Trip begins October 16th! 
The Boosterthon Fun Run program is a healthy alternative to traditional product sales that raises much-needed funds for our school and many others across America. The nine-day Boosterthon Program also promotes three specific values during the fun-filled experience: Fitness, Leadership, and Character. This year’s character theme is “HIGHWAY USA,” and it’s all about CHOICES!

Our students will be building character by learning five important choices to make:

• Choose Leadership
• Choose Character
• Choose Learning
• Choose Fitness
• Choose a good Attitude

OCTOBER 16TH - PEP RALLY  8:30am   OCTOBER 25TH - FUN RUN  K-2: 8:30am & 3-5: 9:30am

BOOSTERTHON FUN RUN BASICS
The event will kick off with a 30-minute school-wide Pep Rally on October 16th and conclude on October 25th with the Boosterthon Fun Run event. Students will be getting pledges towards the number of laps they will run at the Boosterthon Fun Run. Students will run between 25-35 laps. 35 is the lap cap.  

Every student participates in the Fun Run, regardless of pledges raised, and receives a “Boosterthon All-Star” t-shirt.

Enter your pledges at FUNRUN.COM.  Each student has his/her own safe and secure Boosterthon Fun Run webpage to log in pledges and watch character videos.  Sponsors will also have the ability to pay their pledges online.  All pledges are tax-deductible! This is the major fundraising event for the year! Thanks in advance for supporting Phillips Elementary PTA!

SPIRIT NIGHT AT BASKIN ROBBINS!

A Note from the Principal

Dear Phillips Parents,

We had a fantastic first week at Phillips!  Thanks to your help and cooperation, our students have had such smooth beginnings and endings to their school days.

We are working with our feeder campuses to make all of our transitions smooth, as well.  We appreciate your cooperation in not parking in the Stafford Parking Lot.  Some of their staff members could not park in their spaces this morning because some Phillips parents were parked in their spots.  Again, please do not park at Stafford in the mornings and afternoons during arrival and dismissal.

We are so grateful for your support and cooperation.  You are making all the difference for our school, and we can only be great with your help and involvement!

Sincerely,
Dana Solomon
Principal
Phillips Elementary

After dropping off your student, join us and other kindergarten parents in room 122 for a celebratory reception on Monday, August 27th from 7:50am to 9am. This is a great opportunity to meet and mingle with other kindergarten parents. Light breakfast will be served.
