Curley Boosterthon Fun Run: Your Feedback Wanted
This year, the Curley School Parent Council (SPC) decided to work with Boosterthon to organize a fun run. The goal was to raise more money from new sources, involve all of the students in the school in a fun, physical activity and reduce the burden on the few parents who are active in the SPC. We achieved these goals, netting approximately $18,000. Please feel free to share your thoughts on the program: Parent Survey in English
