Jog-A-Thon
– Each year Jason Lee PTA sponsors a major fundraising event. In the past we
have done catalog sales, candy bar sales and the like. Based on last year’s
success we will again be doing a jog-a-thon. In advance of the event, the
kids obtain pledges from family, friends, and neighbors. On the date of the
event, the kids run, jog, or walk and their distances are measured. Following
the event the kids collect the pledges based on their distances. Proceeds
from the jog-a-thon provide funding for the current year’s focus area. Visit
the Past
Focus Area gallery to see what Jason Lee PTA has done for the kids and the
school. [Return to Top]
Fun Friday
– The first Friday of each month, PTA offers candy and other snacks to the
students after school for 25 cents each. Fun Friday is very popular with the
kids. [Return to Top]
Skate Night
– Each month the Rollarena Skating Center hosts Jason Lee students for a skate
party. One dollar of the admission price is returned to PTA. The class with
the highest participation receives a slice of pizza and a small drink,
compliments of Rollarena. Click on the hyperlink for directions to Rollarena.

Movie Night
– A few times each year Jason Lee PTA sponsors a movie night at the school.
PTA selects newer releases that should appeal to the kids. The movie plays on
the big screen and provides a lower cost alternative to the high priced
theaters. Don’t worry; PTA purchases the license to show the movies legally.
Popcorn, candy, and drinks are also available at reasonable prices. [Return

Carnival & Silent
Auction – Another tradition at
Jason Lee is the Carnival and Silent Auction provided by Jason Lee PTA. The

activities are also provided and have in the past included dunk tanks and

a bit of shopping while the kids play the midway games. Local businesses and
individuals donate items for inclusion in the auction. [Return
