With just 7 days before our GLOW (Go Light Our World) Run, I want to encourage you to participate in this school-wide event hosted by PURPOSE. PURPOSE (Parents Utilizing Resources and Providing Opportunities to Support and Encourage) supports our school in a variety of ways from providing lunches for the faculty and staff, raising love offerings, hosting the Fall Festival, sponsoring the New Parent dinner, providing teacher longevity awards and flowers at ceremonies, recruiting homeroom moms, and much more. They need funds to accomplish these endeavors and their desire is to do even more by beginning raise funds for a new playground and secondary science classrooms.

The purpose of the GLOW Run is to:

• Provide an opportunity to promote school climate and foster fellowship
• Raise money for faculty members to sponsor mission trips (10% of proceeds)
• Raise money for PURPOSE activities throughout the year.
• Raise money for STEM/playground needs
• Raise money for capstone trips (If a 5/6 or 11/12 grader raises $125, then 75% of all additional money raised will go to their trip.)

The run will be next Friday night at First Southern Del City.

Tailgate dinner begins at 6:00 p.m.

• The elementary Fun Run starts at 7:15 p.m.
• The secondary and adult Fun Run and 5K following shortly after the soccer game.  
• The CHA bonfire will host smores and music.
• After the races, the secondary is hosting an “after party” at the field until 10:00 pm.
