The annual Bryant Pattengill Fun Run is one of our favorite fall traditions! The students tackle fun obstacles as they run laps and celebrate being part of our incredible school community. Because this event takes place during the school day, 100% of students get to participate.

Why Your Support Matters

While our students are running for fun, they are also running for the Bryant Pattengill PTO. When you pledge your support, you are directly funding:

Field Trips & Assemblies: Bringing classroom lessons to life through hands-on community trips.
Teacher Classroom Grants: Suppling materials, books, and creative tools that teachers need to help every student thrive.
Community & Special Events: Connecting families together with free social events like the Ice Cream Social, Movie Nights, and Science Fairs.

To provide an enriching experience for all students, our PTO budgets approximately $100 per student each school year. In comparison, other AAPS elementary school PTOs budget between $50-$265 per student.

What Your Gift Makes Possible

Every donation of any size moves us closer to fully funding this year's programs. Here's a glimpse of what different amounts provide:

$10 – a Care Closet item for a student in need
$25 – covers one child's full field trip experiences for the year
$50 – a month of snacks for every classroom
$100 – covers your child's portion of the PTO budget
$200 – covers the PTO budget for your child, plus another child whose family may not be able to give this year
$1,000 – funds an entire grade's field trip

Individual pledge amounts are always kept private.

Help Us Hit Our Goals!

As a school, we're working toward a few fun goals together, and every gift, of any size, gets us closer:

🍪 $5,000 – A bonus allergen-friendly snack for every student after the Fall Fun Run
📸 $10,000 – A photo booth at the Fun Run
🪩 $15,000 – Kids get a glow stick party as an extra celebration in the fall

Each grade with more than 50% participants will receive an extra recess later this fall!
