About Old Town Academy Jog A Thon
Join us for our Virtual Jog-a-thon!
Since we all can't meet in person, the Jog-a-thon will be done from home. This year we will be competing to see how many steps you can get in each day for a week! Use the school provided pedometer and this website to record your steps each day from November 16th-November 20th.
The week of November 9th, the OTA Foundation will be giving out pedometers to each student to use to keep track of steps. When you set up your individual page, you will see there is a space for you to enter your daily amount. Please note that the website will be asking you to record "Miles" in this case we will consider a mile a step.
Prizes will be awarded for the following-
-The individual who raises the most money
-The individual from each class who walks the most steps
-The class who raises the most money
-The class with the most total steps.

Why Participate?
Each year the Old Town Academy Foundation puts on two large events to raise money for our school. The money we raise at each of these events is integral to the overall success of our school. As a charter school we receive less funding than traditional schools. Each year there is a funding gap of approximately $365 per child per year. The OTA Foundation is an integral piece to bridging that gap. In addition, the dollars raised from our annual fundraisers support our amazing programs such as STEM, Robotics and music. Some of the funds are used for classroom renovations, better technology, etc. Each year in fact, the OTA Foundation donates roughly $100,000 to the school's general fund.
That's where you come in! We need your help raising those funds! This year we need you more than ever. Due to the current COVID shutdowns we were unable to host our annual Gala which typically brings in upwards of $100,000++ to our foundation every year. This year's Virtual Jog A Thon will be our only opportunity to raise the funds needed to bridge our funding gap, provide the supplies needed to ensure a safe back to school program and to continue to provide all our extra programming.
In addition to raising funds for our school, it is a great opportunity to get outside and move your bodies!
We thank you in advance for your participation and effort to raise money for our school!
