Fun Run for STEAM!

Mohr School's Fun Run for STEAM
Wednesday, March 29, 2017

EAGLES ON THE MOVE!
It's time for Mohr's 5th Annual Fun Run!  This event promotes a healthy lifestyle while fundraising for our school.  We will have two tracks on the fields behind Mohr (about 1/8 of a mile each).  Classes will be assigned a track, and students will run, jog, or walk as many laps as they can for 20 minutes during their scheduled time within the school day.  All students will receive a one-of-a-kind Fun Run for STEAM t-shirt.  Check out our generous sponsors below!  We envision the day to be filled with school spirit, music, laughter, and exercise!  Here is what you need to know for a fun and successful Fun Run for STEAM:
  • Online Donations!  Donations can easily be made online using PledgeStar.  Web based fundraising makes it much easier for you to request pledges from your family and friends.

    Go to http://pledgestar.com/mohr

    1. Enter your name and e-mail address, then click Register
    2. Receive an email from Mohr Elementary with the subject "Mohr Elementary Fun Run for STEAM Instructions"
    3. Open the e-mail and receive your passcode.  Then, go back to http://pledgestar.com/mohr where you entered your name and e-mail, and type in the passcode that you just received
    4. Follow instructions on screen to set up your child's profile

    When you finish with registration, the system will e-mail pledge requests to your family and friends, who can then make secure credit card donations online.  You will get notified each time a pledge is made, and your family and friends are sent detailed thank you notes with the Mohr PTA tax ID number.  You can track your pledge progress online as well.  Please call 888-598-7510 if you need help.
     
  • T-shirts will be distributed the day of the Fun Run for STEAM.
    Please have your child wear comfortable clothes and running shoes.
Regarding pledge sheets, we are asking for flat donations as much as possible this year.  Please use pledge sheets only as an alternative to online donations.  All pledge envelopes, checks, and cash donations should be returned to school on or before the day of the Fun Run for STEAM on March 29, 2017.  All donations are tax deductible.  Checks should be made payable to Mohr PTA (tax ID 94-3274369).
Prizes will be awarded this year based on levels of donations collected.  There will be prizes for the grade level and class that collects the most in donations.
Thank you in advance for your time, support, and donations.  For additional information, please see the Eagle Express or contact Rachel Cisneros or Shishir Gundavaram at committeechairs@mohrpta.org.
