The Race for Education is just nine days away and sponsor donations and pledges now surpass $30,000 with just nine days to go until our Race for Education on Friday, October 29.  We’re getting closer to our goal of $40,000, so please keep emailing and calling family, friends, and local businesses to ask them to be a Race Sponsor.

Event Coordinator Christian Delacruz traveled around the school campus on Friday, October 22 to present 189 green-and-white Race for Ed Sponsor Sneakers to every student who had raised $50 or more from a sponsor.   The sneakers were also put on display on a bulletin board in the Multi-Purpose Room hallway. There is still room for more sneakers — so let’s keep reaching out to prospective sponsors. All proceeds will go into the ACS Annual Fund to support our educational programs in this school year.

The PTF is also sponsoring a Hot Diggity Dog Lunch for students on Race Day. Ordering must be done through RenWeb by Wednesday, October 27. A hot dog meal includes a hot dog, chips, and a drink for $4. Additional hot dogs can be purchased for $2 each.

Giving to the Race for Education is easy — just visit our Race website — www.race4ed.com/aceht.

Sponsors can give any amount, but if they donate $50 or more, the student they are sponsoring will receive a special Race sneaker sign with the sponsor’s name and the name of the student they are sponsoring. Donors can also be a “Classroom Sponsor” (for a gift of $200) or an “Event Sponsor” (for a gift of $400). Individual yard signs with the names/logos of Classroom and Event sponsors will be placed around the edge of the track on Race Day to encourage all of our runners. In addition, the names/logos of our “Event Sponsors” will go on a banner hung at the school for the week prior to and on Race Day.
