What is the Move-A-Thon?

It’s the annual spring community-building fundraiser organized by the PTSA. Sun Dragons are challenged to move for 15 minutes without stopping. On event day, each grade gets a chance to run, walk, dance, etc., moving their bodies however they choose, while parents and volunteers cheer them on.

How does it work?

Before the event on May 9, students will ask family and friends to sponsor them to move for 15 minutes straight. By supporting a student, you help ensure that B.F. Day continues to be a school that both inspires and supports our community’s children.

Why are we raising money?

The PTSA raises funds through fundraisers like the Move-A-Thon to help bridge the gap between state funding and the essential needs of our school - the needed supplementary funding this year is about $30,000 more than last year. Complete budget info is available at bfdayptsa.org/give.

Where does the money go?

1) Direct Staff Position Funding: Keeping Mr. Taylor as a full-time School Counselor, hiring a Playground Supervisor and additional interventionists for reading.

2) School Events and Social Enrichment: Jump Start for Kindergarteners, Dragon Dens, Village Day, Field Trip scholarships, etc.

3) Student Support Fund: Resources to reach all students and support families furthest from educational justice.

4) Academic Enrichment: Special reading and writing curriculum, art room supplies, guest musical artists & special curriculum, library books.

5) Staff Support: Funds for Professional Development and Training and Holiday Gifts and Appreciation week recognition for teachers and staff.
