What is the Dragon Dash?
The Dragon Dash is the annual Lewisburg Elementary PSA fundraiser. This year it will be held in September, the Dragon Dash involves all Kelly and Linntown students. After collecting tax-deductible donations from sponsors, the students walk/run laps around outside for 15 minutes. Fun is had by all as music blares from the loud speakers, the principals, teachers and Bucknell athletes run alongside the students, and our own Lewisburg Dragon mascot makes an appearance to cheer on the runners!
How can parents participate?
Parents can come and cheer on their child the day of the Dragon Dash. Schedules will be handed out in advance so you know when your child will be running. Only students and staff will be allowed to participate in the event, however. Parents are also encouraged to volunteer at the Dragon Dash. Help is needed organizing the classes as they enter/exit, handing out water, etc.
What happens to the money raised?
In the past dash years, the PSA has raised over $300,000 through the Dragon Dash! The money raised is used to support school programs, special assemblies, and purchases that benefit Kelly and Linntown students, including:
- Teacher (Educational) Grants
- Anti-Bullying Program
- Arts and Enrichment Programs
- Support of Field Trips
- Family Directories
- Book Fairs and Book Swap
- Staff Appreciation
- Summer Reading Program
- .... and more!
