THIS YEAR’S GOAL: UPDATING OUR PLAYGROUND
This year, our Spartan Fundraiser will help update and improve our playground! BBS keeps 100% of the money raised, so every dollar helps create an even better space for our students to play and explore!
How it works: Students ask family and friends to sponsor them (ex: $1 per obstacle). On race day, they’ll tackle the course and earn a tally mark for each obstacle completed. After the race, students will know how much to collect from each sponsor.
Payments can be made by cash, check, or online. It’s simple, it’s fun, and it’s all for a great cause! 🐾 Spartan paperwork was sent home this week in Tuesday Folders.
SPARTAN RACE TIMES:
K2 - 8:30-9:00
K5 - 9:00-9:30

K2 Parents: Ideally, parents will bring their K2 student to the field, run the race with them, and then walk them to their classroom at 9:00.
IMPORTANT: FOR ALL STUDENTS - Every student will receive a FREE Spartan T-shirt during the week of the race to wear on Spartan Race Day. On race day, students may wear tennis shoes and athletic shorts! Please send a change of clothes, shoes, and socks with your child for race day (the fun foam at the finish line is wet and messy)!
