Thank You Bridget Celentino, Jog-a-Thon Chair! 

Every year Old Town Academy holds two fundraisers, the Fall Jog-a-Thon and the Spring Gala (Wine & Dine), to help close the gap between what your tuition-free public school receives in state funding and the actual cost of educating each OTA child.

How does the Fall Jog-a-Thon work?

• Sponsors underwrite T-shirts, Water, Snacks, & Prizes;
• Students gather pledges (Student Pledge Sheets will be coming home this week!) and run laps on the field to raise money for their school. Kindergarteners start us off and older students cheer each grade as they take their turn. Last year’s Jog-a-Thon was, as always, a day full of courage and community spirit.
