Jog-A-Thon • 2011 Info Packet

Our first Jog-a-Thon fundraiser will now take place on Friday, December 2nd from 8:45 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. OTA students will raise money to support OTA Teachers and the expansion of the cutting edge Academic Programs they coach.

The scheduled Nov 10 date for the 1st annual Old Town Academy Jog-A-Thon was a bit too close to some exciting field trips –Desert Astronomy Camping trip (6th, 7th-8th) and the Getty Museum (6th)– so we have postponed the big day so students and teachers will be well rested to run for OTA.

Each student-runner will receive a Pledge Sheet (for donations from family members and friends who support you in the “Jog-a-thon” to raise money for your school) and Participant’s T-Shirt.
