We are excited to announce our annual fun run event, which will take place on Friday, October 18, 2024, from 8:30 AM to 11:00 AM. This year, the theme is Rockin' Run and we are raising funds for the Westgate Community School music department. We need your support to make it a success!
Event Details:
Date: October 18, 2024
Time: 8:40 AM - 11:00 AM
Location: Front parking area (a track will be created here)
About: For this fun run event, students will work in the weeks leading up to the event to get donations from friends and family for their fun run. We encourage students to set goals of how many laps they think they can run in the allotted time for their age group.
We will be supplying an official Rockin' Run t-shirt to all students on the Monday before the event, October 14th, for students to take home and decorate as they please. Finished shirts need to be ready for the run on Friday!
On the day of the event, a track will be created in the front parking lot of the school for students to run laps. At the end of each lap, a designated adult will make a mark on the back of the student's t-shirt.

K - 4th Grade will have 15 minutes

Fundraising and Prizes:
Students will have the opportunity to win a variety of musical-themed gifts based on the funds they raise. Encourage your child to share the event with family and friends to gather support!
Anyone can scan the QR code to donate money directly to your student's fund. Be sure checks collected are made out to Westgate Community School with the student's name in the memo. Checks and cash should be put in an envelope with your student's name and be dropped off in the vestibule or brought in on the day of the event. Every contribution helps enhance our music department and provides valuable resources for our students!
Parental Involvement:
New this year! We are inviting all parents to come and cheer on their students during their run times! Your presence and encouragement mean a lot to the kids and help make the event even more special. We will be sending out further information on finalized run times and parking instructions closer to the event. So stay tuned!!
Sincerely,
The Westgate Admin Team
