2026 Race for Education! Donate Early!

💙 Race for Education | Save the Date!

📅 Thursday, November 5 | 🎯 Our Goal: Raise $5,000

Pot Spring Elementary’s annual Race for Education is coming up, and we need your help to make it a success!

🙋 Volunteers Needed! Help cheer on our Bluebirds and make race day fun for everyone. Sign up to volunteer here!

What Is Race for Education?

During the school day, students will walk, jog, skip, or run around a short outdoor course while getting active, having fun, and supporting their school!

Our Goal: One School, One Book

This year, our Race for Education fundraiser will sponsor One School, One Book! Through this reading program, every student gets a copy of the same book to read at home with their family. At school, they’ll dive into the story with their classmates. The book will be chosen by PSE to be enjoyable and accessible for all grade levels. One School, One Book makes reading more engaging, gets families connected, and helps build a community of readers.

💙 How Can You Help?

• Volunteer: Sign up here to help on race day.
• Donate or create your own campaign: Visit our Race for Education page to learn more, make a donation, or set up a personalized fundraising campaign to help us reach our $5,000 goal! Can we achieve the goal? Yes we can but only through our collective efforts. 

Every bit of support makes a difference for our Bluebirds. Donate $25, $50, $100 or any amount you are most comfortable with! Spread the word and thank you for helping make this year's race a success!

Questions? Contact your child's teacher or Race for Education Chair, Allison Egger, at allisonegger7@gmail.com.

💙 Go, Bluebirds!

Heartfelt Thank You!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our first PTA meeting during Back-to-School Night on Tuesday, September 15! It was a wonderful start to the year, and we’re so grateful for everyone who took the time to be there.

A quick highlight from the meeting: the PTA truly cannot do what we do without our Pot Spring families. Whether you volunteer your time, become a PTA member, or make a donation, every contribution makes a difference; especially this year when donations are getting harder to come by.

As your PTA, we work to support special events and programs like the highly anticipated Spring Fling (so much fun!), Race for Education, 5th Grade Graduation and celebrations (tears!), Teacher Appreciation Week (so many smiles), the Bluebird Shop (excitment all around), book drives (get those brains going!), and so so many other things that help make our school AMAZING.

This year, we truly need your support whether that’s your time, your talent, or a donation in whatever amount feels most comfortable for your family. It’s through our collective efforts that we can continue creating the warm, welcoming community we love at Pot Spring and help nurture the whole child during these important early years. Thank you for being part of our Bluebird community!
