Dance Fit
A message from our PTA...
The PTA is excited to announce it will be hosting its second event with Boosterthon, the company that presented the Fun Run last year. The company has worked hard to make changes to allow for the same amazing and fun experience while respecting the need for social distancing. This year, the event will be a Dance Fit party hosted by Boostethon and Just Dance that will take place in the classroom while students are able to maintain social distance and have a great time! The kickoff event for this program was this Wednesday, June 2nd and concludes with the Dance Fit party in classrooms on Friday, June 11th.
This will be the PTA's only major fundraiser this year and we are hoping to earn money to be able to honor teacher requests and building needs such as: in school programs and activities for the students, end of year events (such as kindergarten moving up day, fifth grade graduation and field day), field trips, outdoor activities such as playground improvements, walking path, field improvements and garden teaching materials, books and classroom supplies. In order to do this we NEED your help, it's quick and easy to help us! Please visit Funrun.com to register your child to receive donations from family and friends. The website will prompt you through how to register your child or children please note when searching for the school/event name please type in Becker and the program will pop up.
