Almost time for the Nickajack Dash!

Save the Date! Nickajack Dash is PTA’s annual fundraiser. All the fun kicks off with pep rallies on March 16th and the Nickajack Dash itself takes place on March 26th. Our goal is to raise $80,000 for PTA initiatives and school improvements.

What is the Nickajack Dash?
Nickajack Dash is a fundraiser and fun run all in one! Families will raise money from March 16-26 and students will earn incentives and prizes along the way. All students will participate in the Nickajack Dash fun run on March 26 during the school day, regardless of their fundraising status.

If your family is not able to financially support the school, that’s ok! Families can also support our school by registering for the Nickajack Dash and SHARING about our fundraiser with friends and family online. There are plenty of participation prizes to be won, so register today!
