Postma Families—this year’s Spring fundraiser is the Postma Fun Run! It’s a two-week program that kicks off with a StudentPep Rally on February 14th. Families will then gather pledges for every lap your student runs(30-35 laps) at the Postma Fun Run, which will happen on February 25thThis year our goal is to raise at least $25,000 for Postma, and we need your help! We’ve asked the experts at Booster to help the PTO power our fundraiser to make it easier, however in order to make it more profitable for our School we will have our very our Postma Fun Run Team running the program. Every Student will participate in our daily activities  and due to the generosity of Sponsors and the PTO every student that participates the day of the fun run will be gifted with a Postma Fun Run T-shirt the day of the event. 

REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN PLEASE MAKE SURE TO REGISTER YOUR PUMA ON MYBOOSTER.COM!

 

Students will also experience an amazing character theme, Sports City Worldwide! Booster’s most exciting theme yet combines S.T.E.A.M. skills (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) with character-building.Check out the trailer here: https://vimeo.com/569056182/a3547ba2ee

 

Donations will go toward Curriculum Support,Teacher Training, Growing our Garden, Student Activities, and the entire two-week experience. So please help our school by getting pledges from family and friends and entering them on MYBOOSTER.COM

Thank you to our Fun Run Sponsors!

Thanks to our incredible sponsors and PTO we are happy to report that we will be able to gift every single one of our Pumas with a Fun Run shirt at no cost to our Parents while still being able to focus on reaching our fundraising goal. That means regardless of your financial situation or participation your child(ren) will not only get to have fun at the event but they will receive a free event shirt. 

The PTO gathered shirt sizes from students and shirts will be passed out day of the fun run to the students who attend.

We do hope we can count on your support during our Fundraiser which will start 2/14 and run until 2/25. More details coming soon.

Next Spirit Shop is February 10th

Money raised from Spirit Shop and all PTO fundraisers goes toward enhancing our children’s educational experience.  The PTO works closely with Postma staff to determine the academic and enrichment activities these funds will support.  In past years, funds from this event have been used to provided Teacher grants for classroom tools, playground equipment, tablets, and books for the Literacy Library just to name a few.

 

Spirit Shop is set up in the cafeteria during students’ lunch period on the dates below.  A variety of items are available from 25¢ to $5 (USD only please).  New items will be added throughout the year.


*Please make sure to send your child’s money in an envelope or ziplock bag with their name on it and the dollar amount included.


*This is an recurring event that needs a lot of help. Please make sure to look for the sign up if you are interested in helping. (You must be a registered volunteer to help-details on our website)*


*Please note the dates for this years remaining Spirit shops as reminders will only be sent in the PTO’s monthly newsletter and Postma Press for 2nd semester* 


Thank you for your support. Next Spirit shop is Thursday February 10th!
