TIGER TROT - FRIDAY, APRIL 17 INFORMATION FOR PARENTS
Topeka is looking forward to "Tiger Trot" this Friday, April 17th! The TOPEKA TIGER TROT is Topeka Drive Charter’s FUNdraiser and P.E. Open House. It is a fun-filled day in which students, families, and school staff can participate for the promotion of physical fitness. Families and friends are asked to make a donation in any dollar amount, and all donations are appreciated. We hope to raise $35K to help fund our YMCA psychomotor (PE) program for the year.
Students will enjoy different activities and prizes as various fundraising goals are met, including a BMX school-wide assembly! All money raised will help fund our wonderful psychomotor program (PE) that all students enjoy here, at Topeka Dr. Elementary SAS. This program is a vital part of what makes Topeka a rewarding, well-rounded, educational experience for our students.
Just a friendly reminder that you do NOT need to be a district approved volunteer to come, watch and cheer on your child during their designated running time. However, if you want to volunteer for the entire day, you will need to be a district approved volunteer.
Additionally, PTA needs some extra equipment and help to make this race possible. Please see the sign up genius below.
