Mavericks,

Our Get Smart Virtual 5K & Fun Run Challenge kicked off today, and we are thrilled about this year’s program! This event, which runs from April 23 to May 4, 2021, is an important annual fundraiser for Smart’s Mill. This year, we’ve asked the experts at Boosterthon to help make our fundraising simpler, more profitable, and more fun.

We are inviting everyone in our school community to help us raise funds for programs promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion. Our goal is to raise $5000. If you’d like to, we are inviting YOU to help! 

Here’s how you can support Smart's Mill Middle School:

1. Register for the Get Smart Virtual 5K and complete it by May 4, 2021 to compete for a trophy or medals in your age bracket. This event is open to everyone! You’ll also receive a race T-shirt and entry in the 5K raffle. The individual entry fee for the 5K is $25 and $15 for each additional family member.

2. 

3. Smart’s Mill students are invited to participate in the Get Smart Fun Run Challenge and commit to run one mile or more before May 4, 2021. Register with Boosterthon (www.funrun.com) and invite family members and friends to sponsor your student in the Fun Run Challenge. Registration is free and students who raise funds will earn chances to win prizes in our Fun Run raffles. The more they raise, the more chances to win prizes and gift cards! Students attending school in the building will be able to complete the Fun Run Challenge during PE class; distance learning students can complete one or more miles on a route of their choosing.  

4. Whether your student is competing in the Get Smart 5K or participating in the Fun Run Challenge, register them on FUNRUN.COM to make getting sponsors a breeze!  Go to www.funrun.com and search for Smart’s Mill Middle School or enter the registration code 194964. Then, use FUNRUN.COM to log donations for your student(s). Reach out to family and friends by sharing your Student’s Pledge Page. 

With FUNRUN.COM's smart sharing tools, reaching out to sponsors is easier than ever. The easiest way to get donations is to simply click the Facebook share button on your student’s pledge page. With a few clicks you can also create a custom Student Star Video to share on social media. You can also use the Easy Emailer to connect with friends and family. 

As you gather donations, be sure to record each sponsor’s e-mail address so they have the opportunity to easily pay for your student’s pledge online via credit card.

Please contact us at smmsvapta+GetSmart5K@gmail.com if you have any questions.  

Regardless of financial participation, thank you for supporting our school!

Sincerely,

Smart's Mill Middle School PTA

Run/Walk This Way to sign up for the 2021 Get Smart 5k Stampede! This is our 13th year and our first year as a virtual 5K. 

 All PTBoard registrants will receive event T-shirts and participate in raffles for gift cards and prizes. Winners in each age bracket will receive trophies and medals.

Registration fees are $25/person and $15 for additional family members. Registrants will receive event RUN SMMS T-shirts and participate in raffles for gift cards and prizes. 

 Our goal is to raise $5,000 for school enrichment programs and events promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion. Anyone can enter the 5K Stampede, but SMMS students and staff who participate can also ask family and friends to sponsor them with pledges and donations.

Maverick parents and staff, after you register yourself and/or your child for the race on PTBoard https://smms.ptboard.com/formvw?store=1817&form=8 , then head over to Boosterthon (www.funrun.com)  to get started collecting donations and pledges! Boosterthon also has a corporate match program list that may include your employer.

We will be raffling off Amazon, Target, Starbucks, and other gift cards for students and staff who are able to secure different levels of pledges and donations.

Get set to RUN, SMMS!

Mavericks, we are so happy to share that we have two local restaurants lined up for your Spirit Night convenience and enjoyment on Thursday, February 25th.

Before you settle in to watch Mavericks Got Talent on YouTube at 6:30, grab some wood fired pizza from Fireworks.

Craving tacos instead? Pre-order your meal kit from Moe's by 4PM (or just swing by 5-9 PM and order off the menu). 

Don't forget to show the ad or mention SMMS when you order! 

Announcing: Mavericks Got Talent, Virtual Edition!

On Thursday Feb 25th at 6:30 PM, Maverick students are competing for cash prizes and trophies, but guess what? Teachers and staff are also joining in the fun!
