The Horace Mann PTA is hosting its 5th annual Great Turkey Chase 5K & Fun Run, and we are so excited! This is one of the few opportunities we have during the school year where we can come together as a community - families, teachers, and neighbors - to celebrate our amazing school and faculty, as well as have a great time!
Why are we running? Over 75% of the PTA’s fundraising dollars go towards the salaries of many of our partner teachers and specialists – funds that are not provided by DCPS. The PTA also supports a myriad of initiatives, including educational programs like gardening and language, professional development opportunities, classroom enrichment, facility enhancements, and more! Each registered runner and donor makes a huge difference as we strive to further enhance our school. Help us make this year our biggest event yet!
And what's a race without a little competition? Our students are getting in on the fundraiser action by seeking donations from friends and extended family for ultimate bragging rights and a chance to win a Pajama Day and Pizza Party. During registration sign-up, runners will have an option to add a donation for the grade competition! Be sure to mention the name and grade of the students you're donating on behalf of so they get credit.
Starting time is November 16th at 9:30AM (5K) and 9:40AM (1 Mile) from the Mann parking lot. Note: These runs will not be on a closed course so please keep to the sidewalks and practice caution while running through the neighborhood.
