DGS Fun Run

Welcome to the DGS Fun Run page! The Fun Run is DGS’ primary fundraiser so everyone’s support, whether it small or large, is always appreciated and impactful! Proceeds from this year’s fundraiser will go back into classroom budgets to help support classroom celebrations and excursions! Thank you for your time and support for our school!

Our Goal: $10,000

How will it work?

Students will be sent home with their Pledge Sheet on Monday, October 7th. Students will have 2 weeks to collect as many pledges or donations from their family and friends. Families have the option to make a Flat Donation (one-time donation of a chosen amount) or Pledge a certain amount for each lap the student completes on the day of the Fun Run.

For example, if a family pledges $1.00 per lap, and the student runs 20 laps the day of the Fun Run, then the family would donate a total of $20.00.

Students are encouraged to seek support for their big run from friends, family members, and neighbors. All pledges will need to be made before the Fun Run on October 24th.

For each lap completed on the obstacle course on the 24th, students will receive a stamp to keep track of the number of laps they ran. A certificate of completion will be sent home with students on the 24th with the total number of laps completed.

Students will have one week to collect money from their support team (those who pledged money) and return it to DGS. On Wednesday, October 30th, there will be an award ceremony for our Top Earners, Top Runners, and Best Spirit. See below for more information on awards.

  • Monday, October 7th: Official Fun Run Kick-Off Day!

  • Wednesday, October 23rd: Final Day of Pledges

Awards for students

3 Awards will be given for each class:

-Top Earner: Student who has raised the most money in their class

-Top Runner: Student who ran the most laps in their class

-Spirit Award: Student who showcased the best DGS Spirit throughout the race day


What will students receive for earning an award?

Students receiving awards will have the opportunity to pie one of their teachers during the Award Ceremony on Thursday, November 3rd. This ceremony will happen during normal school hours and will showcase the hardworking students in front of the entire grade. It is a great opportunity for everyone to see how strong the community at DGS can be.
