Sarah Thompson, PTA SIS Vice President
What was the purpose of the SIS Rock-n-Roll Run?
The name says it all: FUN! The goal of the PTA’s 2nd Annual SIS Fun Run goal was to bring the school together for a celebration of physical activity and students supporting each other, all while having FUN! Everyone wons when they crossed the finish line.
The theme was a ROCKSTAR RUN followed by a ROCKIN’ RAIDER RECESS. Students and teachers were encouraged to dress in their best rockstar gear and prizes were given to the best dressed. After the run, students and teachers enjoyed a special recess with music, snacks, yard games and then an epic game of Tug of War.
2. How did PTA and SIS work together to accomplish the run?
When it comes to planning events for the students of SIS, PTA is continually inspired by Principal Sara Staley. PTA worked closely with Principal Staley to provide a fun experience that fit the needs of Sunnyvale Intermediate School. PTA was able to fund, plan, and implement the event.
3. Was this a fundraising event? If so, where did those funds go?
No funds were raised – this was a gift to the kids for their hard work all year!
4. What events are on the horizon for SIS next year?
For the upcoming 2023-2024 school year, PTA is looking forward to our 3rd Annual Fun Run. The theme for the fun run will be brand new and it will be a surprise so be on the lookout for that announcement!
PTA is also looking forward to welcoming the students back to school by decorating the school and providing school supplies kits (on sale now through July 13th at sproutsupplies.com).
PTA is looking forward to providing funds for literacy night, STEM night, and field day. The list goes on and on for the upcoming school year and we appreciate our PTA members that make this all possible! If you are not yet a PTA member, we would love for you to come join the f
