Three weeks down, three to go before Fun Run 2026, and Valle Verde has raised $72K+ toward our $100K goal — already more than each of the past 4 years of Fun Runs!

Last week, Mrs. Frumerman’s class won the request challenge with 39 new requests. This week, we’re keeping it simple:

📨 SEND ONE MORE REQUEST
One text, email, or share to a grandparent, neighbor, family friend, aunt, uncle, or former teacher can make a big difference.

🎉 WEEK 4 CLASS CHALLENGE
Four classes will choose the Monday–Thursday themes for RUN WILD Countdown Week:
• Top 2 Active Participation %
• Top 2 Biggest Increases in Active Participation %
That second category means every class has a real chance to win this week. A student counts as active after sending at least one fundraising request OR receiving a donation. Check in with your Room Parents later this week, we'll be sending a midweek leaderboard to them and closing the challenge on Sunday!

👕 T-SHIRT DEADLINE: SUNDAY, SEPT. 13
Reach $250 to earn the official RUN WILD shirt.

🙋 FUN RUN VOLUNTEERS NEEDED — FRIDAY, SEPT. 25
Help with setup, course support, water, lap tracking, inflatable...-ing(?), cleanup, and more: TK | K/1 | 2/3 | 4/5

Less than $28K to go. One request at a time!

🏆 PS. Teachers are receiving an email today with the metrics for the class prizes listed on our Pledgestar page!
