The Wolf Run is a community event designed to promote healthy living, build community, and raise money to support our teacher assistants and other instructional resources. The money raised funds vital resources that our school has come to rely on.

The district funding for Challenge School covers basic financial needs, but it's not enough to fund many vital resources that the school has come to rely on, including the salaries of four full time teacher assistants. This PTCO funding includes:

• a technology technician who provides technical support to all students, staff, and teachers (e.g. maintaining laptops, chargers, printers, document cameras, projectors); 

• a library technician who leads weekly storytime with all elementary classes and assists students with checking out books and researching projects; 

• and teacher assistants who supervise students before/after school & during lunch/recess and assist with a host of other administrative needs such as organizing, cutting, copying, and laminating. 

Talk with your kids about how Ms. Amy helped them troubleshoot their laptop, how Ms. Samantha assisted them in solving a problem during recess, how Ms. Hadden helped them discover a new favorite book, or how Ms. Madina helped them with a classroom project. 

Support like this is crucial because it allows our amazing teachers to focus on their core responsibilities—engaging with students, developing effective lesson plans, and giving valuable feedback. By reducing their administrative burden, we enable them to create a more impactful and enriching educational experience. 

Donations can be made in two ways. Cash or check can be returned to the PTCO collection lockbox near the front office in an envelope labeled with your child's name. You may also visit our donation collection website to donate electronically. 

Here is the schedule for the day:

8:15-9:15 – Team A (Kindergarten)

Students should bring a water bottle, dress in comfortable clothing, and wear comfortable running/walking shoes. There will be cups and a water cooler at the run in case kids forget a water bottle.

Your student’s free t-shirt will be delivered to their Connections class on the day of the run. T-shirts will already have the bibs pinned on them. 

YES! We're looking for volunteers to help set up and tear down canopies, mark laps on runners' bibs, pass out cups of water, etc. Even if the volunteer signup is full, please come and cheer on the kids! If you would like to volunteer, go to the music tent and we will give you a job.
