August 2021 Dear Greencastle-Antrim Primary/Elementary Families: We are writing to announce that again this year we will be holding our annual fundraising event at G-A Elementary & Primary Schools….the Race for Education! This fundraiser has been so successful the past nine years that we were able to surpass our goal every year!! To-date the Race for Education has raised over $700,000 for the students in our Kindergarten through 5th grades. The Greencastle-Antrim Elementary/Primary PTO will be conducting its 9th annual Race for Education. The funds raised from this event are very important so that all our Primary and Elementary students may continue to experience the newest technology, school assemblies, and special events & activities which are COMPLETELY funded by the Race for Education. Monies from this fundraiser have also been used to back classroom grants so that our teachers can purchase essential education materials for their classrooms. Administration has been able to use the success of the Race for Education to fund other large-ticket objectives such as a safety fence for our Primary playground area; audio/visual equipment in our Primary building to use for assemblies, a stage in our Elementary school complete with audio/visual equipment; new playground equipment, and enlarged playground area for our Elementary students; new iPads, docking stations and Apple software; desktop computers; document cameras; as well as additional technology & teaching aids to enhance the classroom learning experience that directly benefit your child’s education at our schools. During this event, students will walk or jog around the G-A track for a one-hour period. Each student will raise funds by asking sponsors to contribute a tax deductible donation to the PTO. Your child will be coming home with this “Kick-off Packet” of information about our Race for Education. Please review the packet carefully. Your participation is essential to the success of this program. The PTO’s goal is to raise $85,000! this year. You can enable us to reach this goal by spending a minimal amount of time sending the enclosed mailers to potential sponsors, we will also be sending a virtual postcard that can be shared or emailed to family and friends as well. The Greencastle-Antrim Elementary & Primary School PTO will reach its goal of $85,000, if we receive an average of ten (10) shares per student. Thank you in advance for your cooperation and support of this exciting event. Sincerely, On behalf of the Greencastle-Antrim Primary & Elementary Schools PTO Race for Education chairperson - Holly Kendall & K-5 principal - Ashely Martin
