Monster Mash Dash 5K & Fun Run, October 31

10/3/2021

0 Comments

Sign up your family to join us for a 5K at 8 a.m. or 1-Mile Fun Run at 8:50 a.m. on Halloween Sunday, October 31. Costumes are encouraged! The 1-mile course around the Franklin Sherman track is easy enough for kids, stroller friendly and can be a fun and safe way for the kids to dress up and show off their Halloween costumes. Don't be left out! We'd love your support even if you just come to cheer on the kids. Or if the day doesn't work for your schedule, you can sign up and run the course at another time. Kids will be encouraged to wear their race t-shirts for a school spirit day following the event.

Please reach out to your employers or local businesses you frequent and ask if they're willing to sponsor the race and promote their business. The money raised through race sponsorships goes directly to the Franklin Sherman PTA. We rely on our families' networks for this to be a successful event and we're happy to reach out directly if you have company suggestions. Click here for sponsorship information or contact Melissa Vayra at 646-467-3506 if you can help.

Get a head start on the 2021/2022 school year by purchasing your child’s school supplies today! We're excited about our new local vendor, Campus Survival Kits, because they offer a number of great benefits:
  • The kits assemble all of the personal and community supplies our teachers have requested for each grade
  • Don’t need everything offered in the full kit? You can choose to create your own kit and add items a la carte
  • When ordering you have the flexibility to add headphones to the kit or you may provide your own separately if you prefer to buy a different brand/style or your child already has a set from this year
  • Low prices 
  • Kits will be delivered directly to Franklin Sherman prior to the first day of school so that you don't have to send them in with your child
  • Personal supplies come in a custom Franklin Sherman drawstring backpack
  • Each purchase benefits the school and the more we order, the more free refills we can receive on select items in January

Buy today and cross school supplies off your list. Orders must be placed by the end of July to ensure they are delivered to the school in mid-August. Late orders, including orders for new students during the school year, may not arrive by the first day of school, and the ordering site will indicate when and where you can expect your kit to arrive.

Every year, we rely on Franklin Sherman families to step up to help improve their children's educational experience by investing in our school.
 This year, the PTA will focus on helping the school administration and teachers with:
  • Tools and supplies they need to successfully support our students in virtual learning and eventually to switch to concurrent learning
  • Special grade events (e.g., the 6th grade play)
  • Technology
  • Staff appreciation
  • Class and community social activities
We are grateful for your support!
