Jog-A-Thon - Help Us Support Our School & Schedule Update

The QAE Jog-A-Thon is Friday! Students are getting excited to run and have been setting goals in their classrooms and asking friends and family to donate to our PTSA.So far, we've raised $22,000! We're over half way to our goal of $40,000 and there's still time to fundraise.  If you've registered on PledgeStar, thank you! Please consider sending a few additional emails this week.  If you have yet to do so, just log on to www.PledgeStar.com/qae and register - it's really easy and will take less than 10 minutes of your time. 

We'd love you to join in Friday's fun event.  If you'd like to volunteer, visit our volunteer sign up site. 

If you just want to come and cheer on the runners, here is the schedule:

• Wave 1: Grades 4/5 - runs from 11:45am-12:25pm
• Wave 2: Grades 2/3 - runs from 12:35-1:15pm
• Wave 3: Grades K/1 - runs from 1:25-1:55pm
