It's Time for Boosterthon!!
What is
the Fun Run?
The Fun Run is a 9-day
program and is this semester’s biggest fundraiser, taking place on September
7-16, 2016___. Families will be getting pledges for the laps their student
runs at the Fun Run. Funds raised from this event go toward _curriculum, technology,
and student programs____ !
How can parents register their student(s)?
First, parents log in or
sign up on funrun.com. Then, parents can register their student as a
participant on funrun.com using the school registration code. Our code is: 655546.
Students get a free prize just by being registered.
How can students get
pledges?
Parents can help connect
students to 10 different sponsors. Families can enter those pledges online at
funrun.com
4
Will my student really
run 30 laps? How big is the track?
Yes, even
kindergarteners! However, your child will actually be running at the Cooper HS
track this year. Our goal is 30 little
laps…which translates to 5 big laps on the Cooper track. Kids can run more than 5 big laps, but
sponsors won’t be charged for more than 30 little laps. Kids will basically run/walk for 25 minutes.
Can students receive a prize for flat donations?
Yes! All flat donations count toward pledges and are rounded by
30 (the average student will run 30 laps). So, a $30 donation is the same as $1
per lap. A $60 donation is the same as $2 per lap, etc.
What if families don’t
have Internet?
If a student’s family
does not have Internet access, parents and families can use the pledgebook to
record all pledges. If students turn their pledgebook into their teacher,
please make sure student and class name are listed on the front.
Can sponsors pay for pledges online?
YES! Sponsors have the
option to pay online. Only pledges that have an email address entered with the
pledge can be paid online. Make sure sponsors know they should enter a valid
email address. The day after the Fun Run event, sponsors will receive an email
with payment options.
When is the pledge money
due?
Pledge money is due on
September 22nd. Families have one week to collect their pledges after the Fun
Run.
How is money collected?
Families will call their
sponsors to let them know how many laps their student ran. All students will get
an envelope to organize cash and checks and bring back to school (if sponsors
don’t pay online). All checks are made out to_______Longbranch PTA___________.
YOU’RE INVITED TO CHEER ON YOUR STUDENT!

First Volunteer Activity of 16.17
By this evening, you should have either received a letter from your
child's teacher or a Porch Pop In. If you have received neither, first
please check your front door and see if a letter was left for you
there. If not, please call us on Thursday to inquire as to who your
child's teacher is. We learned last year that some letters are received
the day after mailing, some take up to 5 days. We're not sure why this
is. Regardless, we'd like all of our kids to know who their homeroom
teachers are by Thursday morning.
First order of volunteer business for 16.17
Each teacher is looking for someone to collect fees and write receipts on Meet the Teacher Night. You can sign up to help your child's teacher here:
http://www.signupgenius.com/go/409054caaae22a64-feecollection
Fees will be $60 per student this year and CAN be payable online but not until August 8th. We'll send more info on that date if you'd like to get this task off your to-do list.
We look forward to meeting everyone next week!!

Managing Communication from Longbranch
Parents have asked for a more streamlined procedure for communication
from Longbranch. Currently, we have so many modes of communication,
it's hard to keep up with and they are not synced. Beginning now, all
communication will be synced. If an email goes out, a notice will go
out on text, blog, social media, and website so you can always feel
informed.
Please open this link to view all of the many ways we communicate with our parents.

**If an item is placed on YouTube, you will be informed by text, email, blog, and social media.
**If an item is sent out via the mass phone system, you will be informed by text, email, blog, and social media.
**We don't typically post on YouTube or use the phone system. These two happen less frequently than the other forms of communication.
