Fun run
The Fun Run was another amazing success, thanks to you!
The Prospect Valley community crushed this year's fundraising goal with their Fun Run donations. Collectively we have raised more than $67,000! Congratulations to Ms. Rossi's class for winning the Golden Shoe trophy this year! As a class they raised the most money of any class in the school, and had the highest average raised per student. They are fundraising rockstars!
What is the PV Fun Run?
The PV Fun Run is our largest PTA fundraising event of the year! This is our one and only fundraiser for the year, and our goal is to raise $40,000 to fully fund our school’s fantastic PTA-sponsored events and programs for the entire school year. This event is a super fun way for the kids to help raise money for our school. Every kid is a part of the FUN, and 100% of the profits go to support our school and our PTA initiatives!
How does it work?

How does it work?
- On Friday, Oct. 7th, during their Art, Music or PE class, each student will have 30 minutes (20 minutes for kinder and first grade students) to run/walk/skip/dance as many laps as possible around our Fun Run loop. We’ll tally up all the laps before students leave school that day so they can then collect on pledges they have received.
- Students will collect pledges from family, neighbors and friends on a per lap basis (i.e. $3 per lap) or a flat donation (i.e. $30) before October 7th. You can start collecting now!
- You have the option to collect pledges/donations online or in person this year.
- Each student can create an online fundraising page in Member Hub (the company hosting our fundraising website). Click here to set up your student’s account on Member Hub. As soon as you register, you can start sharing the link to their page via email, social media and text to get those donations rolling in!
- If you would like to collect cash/checks as well (or instead of online fundraising), fill out this pledge form and make sure to return it to your child’s teacher by October 14th with all money collected. The pledge form does not need to be filled out if you are only receiving online donations.
- After all monies have been turned in on October 14th, prizes will be ordered and delivered to students ASAP (usually within 2 weeks of the event). Prizes will be distributed at school.
Tell me all about the Prizes!
- All students will receive a Prospect Valley water bottle to use for the Fun Run, which they’ll get to keep forever and use to show their school spirit. But that’s just the beginning...
- The more donations a student brings in, the more prizes they will win. When they reach a donation level of $25, $50, $100, $250 or $500, students will win a different fun prize. And- all prizes are cumulative- the more money you raise, the more prizes you’ll get! So, a student who collects $500 in donations will receive all of the prizes for each fundraising level. Prizes will be shown on Member Hub in the Participant Center page- stay tuned! and will also on display at the school!
What are we raising money for this year?
- Our goal is to fully fund all PTA-sponsored events and programs at Prospect Valley, so that we do not need to ask our wonderful families to do more fundraising this year! Our PTA provides funds for each PV classroom teacher to purchase much needed supplies, and curriculum enrichment activities such as field trips and special guest speakers. We also contribute to the school's tech needs, important classroom initiatives and educational tools (such as BrainPop and other software subscriptions), new books for our library, safety upgrades, supplies for our Specials classes and much more. PTA programming includes community building events, such as Special Person's Day and the school dance; curriculum enhancement, such as the spelling bee and Battle of the Books; and school support programs, such as staff appreciation week.
Do I get a say in how the money raised is spent?
- Absolutely- we’d love to hear your voice! All PTA members get a vote on fund requests from the school and PTA committees. Fund requests are presented at our monthly PTA meetings, and we’ll be voting on requests via email polls. You can still vote even if you can’t attend the meetings! If you’re not already a member of the Prospect Valley PTA, please visit prospectvalleypta.org to join.
