Rascal Run 2024: A Huge Success!

We are thrilled to announce that our Rascal Run jogathon was a massive success! Thanks to the incredible support of our students, families, and community, we not only met but surpassed our goals, raising over $9,000 for the Salem Heights Parent/Teacher Club (SH PTC).

This achievement wouldn’t have been possible without the hard work and enthusiasm of our participants, volunteers, and sponsors. Your dedication has helped us take one step closer to providing enhanced educational opportunities and activities for our students.

Stay tuned for updates on how these funds will be used to support our school and future events. Thank you once again for making Rascal Run 2024 an unforgettable event!

Go Rascals!

Rascal Run October 3rd

We are excited to announce that our biggest fundraiser of the year, the annual Rascal Run, is just around the corner! Mark your calendars for October 3rd and get ready for a day full of energy, fun, and community spirit.

The Jogathon is not only a fantastic way for our students to stay active, but it also plays a crucial role in supporting our school programs. This event is our largest fundraiser of the school year, and we need your help to make it a success!

We are seeking volunteers to assist with setup, cheering on students, lap counting, distributing fruit (provided by Mega Foods Salem) + water, and cleanup. Whether you can help for the entire event or just a few hours, your support will make a difference!

Let’s make this year’s Jogathon the best yet!

Staff Appreciation Week

The Salem Heights PTC wanted to thank everyone who volunteered their time or donated items to Staff Appreciation week. The event was a great success!

In addition to providing food and drinks for the entire week, we were able to provide two new crock pots and toasters to replace equipment that was lost previously. Our staff can enjoy warm food again!

We have received numerous messages of thanks from the staff during and after the event. Such an outpouring of generosity from Salem Heights families obviously touched them and has been a huge morale boost.

We literally couldn’t have done this without you!

December Meeting Cancelled

Due to a large number of schedule conflicts, the lack of pressing business, and the distractions of the upcoming Holidays the December Salem Heights PTC Meeting has been cancelled.

We’re looking forward to seeing you all at the January 10th Meeting!

Jog-a-thon UPDATE!

Each student should be bringing home an index card with their name on it. There will be 2 numbers hand written on it. The number that is NOT circled is the actual number of laps the student ran in the gym and the number that IS circled is the adjusted number of laps the student would have ran if we ran on the track. Mr. Sorensen used a distance wheel and walked around the track one time and it measured 200 meters. He then walked one of the laps in the gym and it measured 66 meters. That ends up being a ratio of 3 gym laps to 1 track lap. The circled number should be the uncircled number divided by three. The computer did round up or down. You may call Mr. Sorensen with any questions.

If you've already turned in your packet, donate through the website! Your student will get credit!
