HIDDEN VALLEY LAKE, Calif. – The students, teachers and staff of Coyote Valley Elementary are once again lacing up their sneakers and getting ready to run for fun and to raise funds for their school, as the highly-anticipated annual Coyote Valley Elementary Jog-a-thon Fundraiser is just around the corner.
Scheduled to take place on Friday, Oct. 14, students compete against classmates as they gather pledges from friends, family and businesses, and then race against one another in a timed 30-minute (or less) run.
Prizes are awarded to the student in each grade level who runs the most laps and raises the most amount of money.
Every student who raises at least $50 is treated to a root-beer float party.
Teachers and staff also may collect pledges and race against each other in order to win prizes. In fact, funds raised by the teachers are earmarked for use in their individual classrooms. And, as a bonus prize this year, an Astro-Jump party will be presented to the classroom that earns the most money.
Coordinated by the Coyote Valley Elementary Parent Teacher Organization (PTO), the jog-a-thon is one of the top school fundraisers with the entire profit going directly back to the school.
The money raised is used for school assemblies and field trips, library books, individual classroom needs, and more.
And, with the many budget cut-backs in recent years, the funds raised in this event have become more essential than ever. Last year, the event raised approximately $15,000 and the PTO is hoping to at least match that amount again this year.
“Coyote Valley is eagerly anticipating this year’s fall jog-a-thon fundraiser,” says Coyote Valley Elementary Principal Tom Hoskins. “The jog-a-thon is rich in tradition and exemplifies the community spirit of our school and Hidden Valley Lake. Combining fun, fitness and fundraising, the jog-a-thon has long lasting benefits for our school and children.”
This year’s jog-a-thon was generously sponsored by the Hidden Valley Lake Community Services District who made a large financial contribution toward the cost for the t-shirts that are provided to all of the jog-a-thon participants.
Judging on this year’s theme of “Water Up Coyote Valley!”, the CSD board selected the winning student artwork that will be featured on the front of the t-shirt.
This year’s winner was Hailey Wright, and the runner-ups were Taylor Harris, Erika Kinsel and Sophie Kucer.
The back of the t-shirts feature businesses that make a monetary donation of $250 toward the Jog-a-thon and the Coyote Valley Elementary PTO is asking that the community, in turn, support and thank these businesses for their support of our school.
Currently, the official t-shirt sponsors include: Affordable Plumbing, Astro Jump, Bennett Solutions, Big Chill, Bottle Rock Power, Classic Auto Body, Coyote Valley Pharmacy, Fitness First – Calistoga, Hardesters Market, Jan-Mar Construction, JT Auto Glass, Clearlake Dentistry, LedCor, Mugshots, Muscle Matrix, Personal Development Institute, Paul Davis Restoration, Reliable Plumbing, Stephen Hebert Painting, Tri-Counties Bank, Whispering Pines and the HVL Community Services District.
“This event is made possible solely through individual pledges for a student and/or teacher and through the sponsorship and donation of prizes by local businesses. And every year, this event is a testimony to how our community comes together to support our children’s education,” said Jog-a-thon Coordinator Jennifer Totten.
Now’s your chance to get involved. Call the Coyote Valley Elementary school office to pledge your support of a teacher or contact a local Coyote Valley Elementary student and make a pledge today.
A special guest speaker at the meeting will be the Upper Lake School Board candidate Wanda Quitiquit.
