2016 Fall Festival & Fun Run
When: Saturday, October 22th, 2016 @ 5-8 PM
Where: McCall Elementary School Playground & Parking Lot
PTA’s main fundraiser this year will be our McCall Fall Festival & Fun Run. It will be a fun and exciting event for all students, families, staff and our community! Our hope with this fundraiser is to raise $20000 to fully fund field trips for all grades, support programs for the year and purchase materials for the new learning commons library. And, our students will have a wonderful 9-day character building experience.
We look forward to seeing everyone there!
We are looking for parent volunteers for the festival and if anyone is interested, please email ways@mccallpta.org or sign up at Signup Genius

Fun Run Highlights
How to Sign Up and Donate
- Hosting a fun run means there is no selling or delivering products, and it reinforces the value of fitness.
- To make our fundraising significantly easier and more fun, we have asked the experts at Boosterthon to power the entire 9-day program. Boosterthon has been organizing Fun Runs for 14 years and is partnering with 1,900 other schools across America this year. Their amazing team coordinates all the details and logistics of the run, allowing us to better focus on character building and having fun.
- Regardless of financial participation, every student is invited to participate in the entire fun run program.
- Student does not have to participate in the fun run to get pledges.
- Challenges offered during the Fun Run:
- Nightly Challenge: Prizes to be announced on daily announcements.
- Weekend Challenge: Each student who receives a pledge from outside of Texas (any state or country) by end of Sunday, October 16, 2016 will be entered into a drawing to win a Boosterthon Big Recess Sports Camera Kid Friendly GoPro. Winner will be announced on 10/17/2016.
- 50 State Challenge: If we receives pledges from 50 states or countries, principals will set a Superhero Dress Up Day.
- Principal Challenge:
- If the PTA raises $8000, PTA will donate 25 Tracking System for Fitness and PE Classes.
- If the PTA raises $10000, PTA will donate 75 Tracking System for Fitness and PE Classes.
