Our FUN RUN fundraiser is scheduled for Friday, September 26, 2014 (rain or shine), during the school day. This will be BLE’s largest fundraiser this year. How does it work? Your children will be running/walking for dollars! On September 26 th they will walk/jog/run as many laps as possible around our 1/10 mile asphalt track in the 15 minutes allotted. This will be a fun and exciting day with a DJ, mascot, as well as fellow classmates cheering each other on. We will celebrate our school’s accomplishments in an assembly at the end of the day, announcing prizes and offering random drawings. Pledge donations and forms will be due no later than Wednesday, September 24. Our FUN RUN theme is “Be INSPIRED To Do Your Best” because it MATTERS and we hope you will join our fundraising efforts. Every contribution MATTERS; and everyone MATTERS in making a difference. Whether it is a $2 pledge or a $200 contribution – every penny MATTERS and will add up to continue to provide BLE with excellent programs. The money raised from this event will support our many fun and educational programs at BLE such as: Family Bingo Night, March Reading, Seuss Fair, Reflex Math and Reading programs online, Field Day, and all the Field Trip excursions geared towards each grade level’s curriculum, additionally a specific percentage will go automatically to each classroom to help with extra resources the teachers’ need throughout the year. These funds offer our students a much richer educational experience, plus they provide for many fun and spirit filled BLE activities and events. Based on our projected budget for the 2014 – 2015 school year, our goal is to raise $24,000. If we reach this goal, it spares us from having to implement numerous small fundraisers throughout the year, i.e., candy sales, bake sales, pizza kits, magazine sales, etc. PTA School Goal $24,000 Goal Per Student $40 My goal is $ Each child participant that submits a pledge will receive a tshirt! Should we reach our goal of $24,000, our principal, Mr. Gualtieri, has agreed to die his hair blue for the day! We know these are difficult times, but we hope that your family will be able to help us raise some funds. BLE has always been blessed to have such generous households. We thank you for your continued support and enthusiasm for BLE programs and activities. Your Bailey Lake ‘Running of the Bulldogs’ Team

Our  FUN  RUN  fundraiser  is  scheduled  for  Friday,  September  26,  2014  (rain  or  shine),  during  the  school  day.  This  will  be  BLE’s  largest  fundraiser  this  year.  How  does  it  work?  Your  children  will  be  running/walking  for  dollars!  On  September  26th    they  will  walk/jog/run  as  many  laps  as  possible  around  our  1/10  mile  asphalt  track  in  the  15  minutes  allotted.  This  will  be  a  fun  and  exciting  day  with  a  DJ,  mascot,  as  well  as  fellow  classmates  cheering  each  other  on.  We  will  celebrate  our  school’s  accomplishments  in  an  assembly  at  the    end  of  the  day,  announcing  prizes  and  offering  random  drawings.      Pledge  donations  and  forms  will  be  due  no  later  than  Wednesday,  September  24.  

Our  FUN  RUN  theme  is  “Be  INSPIRED  To  Do  Your  Best”  because  it  MATTERS  and  we  hope  you  will  join    our  fundraising  efforts.  Every  contribution  MATTERS;  and  everyone  MATTERS  in  making  a  difference.    Whether  it  is  a  $2  pledge  or  a  $200  contribution  –  every  penny  MATTERS  and  will  add  up  to  continue    to  provide  BLE  with  excellent  programs.

Based  on  our  projected  budget  for  the  2014  –  2015  school  year,  our  goal  is  to  raise  $24,000.  If  we  reach  this  goal,  it  spares  us  from  having  to  implement  numerous  small  fundraisers  throughout  the  year,  i.e.,  candy  sales,  bake  sales,  pizza  kits,  magazine  sales,  etc.
