Annual Fun Run

The Fun Run is a Nokomis Montessori South PTO fundraiser to fund field trips, teacher appreciation events, new playground materials, playground equipment, and other school materials.

During the school day on September 30th, classrooms will complete the Fun Run on the school playground. Leading up to the Fun Run, students will collect donations from family and friends (your student should have brought home a flyer). The class that earns the most donations will get a special pizza lunch with Principal Abby!

Donations can be made by cash, check, or Venmo (see the flyer). NOTE: We are just collecting flat donations (e.g., $1, $5, $10). We are NOT collecting per lap donations.

Watch for more information in the coming weeks with specifics about when your child’s class will run. Families are welcome to come in to cheer on their student and their class!
