SCHUYLERVILLE — Three recent fundraisers held by Schuylerville schools netted tens of thousands of dollars for various charities.
Parents as Education Partners (PEP) concluded its 2024 Fun Run with a school pledge profit of $33,947. Grades UPK-5 participated in the school fundraiser to help PEP purchase classroom supplies, plan events, and buy recreational items such as sleds, outdoor play gear, and playground equipment.
The third annual Middle School Booster Bash raised $12,319. The money will be used for middle school field trips for grades 6-8. More than 70% of students registered to participate in the three-week long fundraiser and were awarded prizes throughout the initiative. A color run was held on campus to celebrate the conclusion of the school-wide endeavor.
The 2024 Kickin’ Out Cancer event raised $5,791. Various Schuylerville grade levels, offices, departments, and athletic teams donated hundreds of dollars of items to put together 31 raffle baskets for the fundraising effort. The culminating Kickin’ Out Cancer events were held on Oct. 7 during the boys and girls soccer games, and included a halftime walk, 50/50, and concession stand sales. During the day, a K-12 spirit day was held with students and staff wearing pink or Kickin’ Out Cancer apparel.
