Medlock Bridge Elementary Hosts Fifth Annual Runapalooza

Runapalooza is a fun, healthy way to raise money for Medlock Bridge Elementary School PTA to assist the school with funding support for programs and events.  Run entirely by parent volunteers, 100 percent of the money raised goes back into supporting school programs.  Some of the areas in which Runapalooza funds are utilized are Science Force, field trips, Fall Carnival, Family Fun Night, Heritage Night, supplies for teachers and classrooms, Fifth Grade Week, author’s visits, purchase of computer equipment to support classrooms and the Media Center and much more!

“This is the largest fundraiser that is held for the year,” says Cindy Hajduk, Runapalooza Operations Manager.  “The students love this event because they have fun and also realize that they benefit from the funds that are raised through programs such as Science Force.”

A pep rally was held on August 28 to kick off the event and get the students excited.  Students and classrooms receive awards based on the levels of fundraising that they reach.  As an added bonus, the student from each grade who collects the most money get the opportunity to “slime” Coach Matt Rogers, PE teacher.
