After many years of planning, fundraising, and hard work we are getting close to our goal. This year we can celebrate our Job-a-Thon event in style, with our brand new school feature!

It was such a wonderful exchange for all involved that we are planning to make the Culture Club a monthly event!

This year’s jog-a-thon was a significant fundraiser for Caleb Greenwood Elementary that includes all students. This was a fun and fit activity for K-6th graders to show their support and raise funds for our classrooms. Our goal is to support literacy by providing books for each classroom, building classroom libraries rich with both fiction and non-fiction selections that will excite our students about reading. We hoped that each family would participate in the jog-a-thon to the best of their ability. If each student raises at least $25 we would achieve our goal. Students had a chance to earn prizes from our generous community donors while also supporting their school. Although the goal of this event was to raise funds for literacy, we put the jog-a-thon together for three very important reasons:
Promote the importance of physical fitness
Build school spirit and pride
Create a fun, memorable experience for our children
Caleb Greenwood students participated in the international community-art-poetry-connection project called Dream Flags in Spring of 2013. Flags were displayed during the school’s family festival, at Clubhouse 24 during Second Saturday, and also at the State Capitol Building Art Galleries during May 2013.
