Bobcats Fun Run – Clara Barton Elementary PTSA

5th Annual Bobcats Fun Run

The Fun Run is a spring fundraising and fitness event. All Barton students will be encouraged to participate by running or walking laps for 20 minutes around the school grounds, rain or shine. Prior to the run, students will be asked to get family, friends and neighbors to sponsor their participation in the run. Familiies will be welcome to come and watch the run, to cheer on the kiddos.. Please note, the campus will be closed to accommodate the race course so please plan to walk or park offsite.

This year, the Bobcats Fun Run is also going GREEN and working to reduce paper so race information and donations are available online!

Volunteer to Help

The Clara Barton PTSA offers educational enrichment opportunities and events to strengthen our sense of community, along with supplies and equipment beyond what the district provides.
