Rebels FUN RUN Fundraiser
October 4th and 7th

We're excited to introduce this year's main fundraiser, the Motsenbocker Rebels Fun Run. Our goal this year is to raise $75,000 for school programs, supplies, and equipment, as well as events and larger fundraising projects, that benefit ALL students at American Academy Motsenbocker.
 

We’re excited for this fundraising experience because it offers 4 important things to our school community:

     1️⃣ User-friendly fundraising platform

     2️⃣ Character enrichment program

     3️⃣ Fitness-focused event that includes ALL of our students

    4️⃣ Strengthening the school community through parent volunteering - the more parents participate at school, the more successful their children will be.

 

As a family, you will work together asking friends and family to donate on your student’s Donation Page at MyBooster.com. The best part is, you can still support our school just by SHARING about the fundraiser!

 

Students will also experience an amazing character enrichment program called “Castle Quest”, teaching students about how to be brave and live with character.

 

All donations will be collected through our fundraising platform: MyBooster.com

Where Do the Fundraising Dollars Go?

  • Annual commitment of approximately $60,000 in academic funds that goes directly back to the school to help purchase and/or maintain the programs, supplies and equipment that make our school run smoothly and effectively for Middle School, Elementary, and KindiePrep grades. These include annual software licenses for classrooms and STEM programs, professional development for teachers with in-service meals during training, classroom supplies budgets, athletic and school spirit expenses, contributing funds to field day activities, and more.
  • Community building events such as, the Veteran’s Day breakfast, kindergarten parent reception, Father & Daughter event, Mother & Son event, parent breakfasts, Trunk or Treat, teacher appreciation lunches etc.
  • One-off projects that come up as the year progresses, such as removing the bushes attracting the bees in front of the school and updating the teachers’ lounge.
  • Removing the wood chips from the playground area and replacing it with a poured rubber surface. We have been saving for this and it will take several years of fundraising before we achieve our goal.

We have an annual fundraising goal of $95,000 for the entire school year and this fall fundraiser is our largest fundraising event. The more we can chip away at the annual goal, the less fundraising we need to do throughout the school year.
