Save the Date: Dranesville Run-a-thon!

Save-the-date! The 2026 run-a-thon fundraiser will kick off on Thursday, March 5, 2026. Students can choose to run, walk, or cheer for their classmates.

From Thursday, March 5 – Sunday, March 8 at midnight, any classroom that has 50% of its students registered will receive a $50 Amazon gift card. Additionally, any student that registers and raises $25 by midnight on Sunday, March 8 will receive a run-a-thon t-shirt.

Note: If your student collects the $25 in cash form, please have it dropped off at the front office on Monday, March 9, and your student will still receive a t-shirt.

Information packets on how to register will be sent home with students next Thursday.

The run-a-thon dates will be Wednesday, April 8 and Thursday, April 9, 2026. Additional information will be provided on which day each grade will participate.

Run-a-thon Poster Raffle

As an additional way for students to participate in this event, we encourage any student interested to create a poster promoting the Run-a-thon. Students should bring their poster with their name on it to the front office by Friday, March 13, 2026, and they will be entered into a raffle to win a prize. All posters will be placed throughout the school.
