A Dragon Dash Thank You

Many local schools host a fun-run style fundraiser, where students solicit flat donations or pledges per lap, and then on the day of the event they run with their classmates to earn those pledges. 

For Robert Semple Elementary, our Dragon Dash fun run is the highest-earning fundraiser of the year. 

Last school year, we were thrilled and thankful to our friends and families because we raised over $55,000, which will go toward equipment and supplies, art initiatives, special events, and more. The Dragon Dash is also our biggest community-building opportunity of the year. Many local businesses participated as sponsors, both attending the event and generously donating the funds needed for the event t-shirts that allowed volunteers to mark the number of laps each student has completed. Semple parent Dana Jones, owner of Milkman Creations, designed this year’s rainbow tie-dye shirt that was a big hit with students. Staff and families also came out to cheer, and they enjoyed music from the DJ that emceed the event.  

We are so very grateful for all members of the community that came together to support our kids.
