We want to give a special thank you to The Reed Family, (student, Jordan Lukas) for their family sponsorship of the DASH.  Their generous donation helped to provide the jumpie entertainment that all enjoyed after the run!

 

Part of the DASH this year included the annual PTA auction.  Over 100 items were auctioned off.  Thank you to all of you who bid on items at the DASH and made the auction a success.  The auction, registration fees, and sponsor donations raised over $7,900 for Nickajack.  These funds will be used towards classroom supply requests from teachers,  teacher appreciation week, spring landscaping and other Nickajack needs.  

 

Thank you also to the volunteers who served on the DASH committee this year.  Renee Kovach, Aimee Curfman, Sara Young, and Becky Rubenstein each worked so hard behind the scenes.  We are grateful and appreciate of your efforts!  There were also many who served at the DASH as course monitors, auction supervisors, jumpie guards, and food helpers.  Thank you to each of you for giving of your time!  Together we made the 4th Annual Nickajack DASH a grand success!

 

A special thank you to our PTA Dash Co-Chairs, Allyson Balzuweit and Beth Figaretti for another well run, well organized event!!!
