Mariemont Elementary School PTA

Mustang Gallop Jog-a-Thon
2019-10-23 08:45 - 15:15 (America/Los_Angeles)
Let’s get moving for Mariemont!
The Jog-A-Thon is shaping up to be a big fundraiser for our school, with a school-wide goal of raising $15,000! Funds raised will help provide field trip transportation (buses), technology, art supplies, books, classroom supplies, and other teachers’ needs!
Your child has the chance to earn fun prizes and even a chance to be Principal for a Day! See the whole list here.
THIS JUST IN! THE CLASS THAT RAISES THE MOST WILL WIN A CLASS ICE CREAM SUNDAE PARTY! Check out the leaderboard for live updates. Its time to help your child get creative with ways they can raise funds to support our school!
Don’t forget to set up your child’s PledgeStar page to make the fundraising even easier! PledgeStar is a web-based fundraising system that allows family and friends to make secure credit card donations online. It is fun, easy and people who use it typically raise twice as much as those who don’t!

Here’s how the day of (OCTOBER 23!) works: All students will run, jog or walk for 20-30 minutes around a ¼ mile track. The jog-a-thon will happen in the morning before it heats up too much. The goal is to have fun, enjoy being active with friends and help raise money for our school. Family and community are encouraged to come out and cheer our runners on and share in the fun! More information about the specific day of volunteer needs will be emailed home next week!
We’re excited to get moving for our school!

G.R.A.N.D. Lunch
2019-09-27 10:30 - 15:00
Mariemont PTA and Scholastic Book Fairs welcome back our annual G.R.A.N.D. Lunch! The G.R.A.N.D. Lunch is a wonderful way for students to share lunch and books with a special person or loved one. Students can invite a Grandparent, Relative, Aunt or Uncle, Neighbor, or other Devoted Caregiver to come to our school, join them for lunch, & shop together at the Arctic Adventure Book Fair. Guests should plan to arrive at least 15 – 20 minutes early to find parking and go directly to the student’s classroom and wait quietly outside the door. Not sure where to go? Look for G.R.A.N.D. Lunch volunteers on campus to help direct you. There is no need to sign in at the office.

G.R.A.N.D. Lunch Times:

AM Kindergarten: 8:00 – 8:30 AM
PM Kindergarten: 11:00 – 11:30 AM
1st, 2nd, & 3rd Grade: 11:40 AM – 12:20 PM

What is Dads on Campus (DOCs)?
Dads on Campus is a unique opportunity to be a positive male role model during the school day. Volunteer. Get involved. Have fun. Everyone wins.
Get ready to positively impact Mariemont kids, get to know what their day is like, meet some of their friends/peers, and (bonus!) learn some new playground games. Showing up for a lunch period and recess (or several, if desired) is all that is required.
