The Fun Run is back, and it’s our biggest and most important fundraiser of the year! This event brings our students, families, and staff together for a day of movement, laughter, and school spirit, all while raising money for the programs that make Emerald thrive.


Registration is Open

👉 Register now at www.mybooster.com Type in: Emerald


Our Kickoff Assembly is Wednesday, October 15th, and that’s when the fun officially begins! Students will start collecting pledges, earning prizes, and getting excited for the big event.


Then on Thursday, October 30th, we’ll all come together on the Emerald field for the Fun Run! Families are invited to come cheer from the sidelines and celebrate every lap.


About the Program

This year, Emerald Elementary is raising $12,000 to support:

  • After-school clubs and sports
  • Playground equipment
  • Community events
  • Classroom supplies and teacher grants
  • Student rewards and recognition
  • and more!


Participating is easy and fun! Once you’ve registered at mybooster.com and selected Emerald Elementary, click the “Share” button on your student dashboard to spread the word with family and friends.


Every share, pledge, and donation helps us reach our goal and makes a real difference for our students.


At the end of the fundraiser, every student is invited to take part in our BIG Fun Run event on October 30th — a celebration of teamwork, school spirit, and community support. When we hit our $12,000 goal… get ready to celebrate together! 🎉


How the Fundraiser Works

Each student collects pledges or donations from family and friends. Sponsors can pledge a flat amount or an amount per lap completed during the event.


After the Fun Run, students report their laps, and donations are collected online or through pledge envelopes sent home.

Funds raised help our PTO continue providing the extras that make Emerald such a special place to learn and grow,

On the day of the Fun Run, be sure to dress your student up in the grade's designated colors:


Kindergarten: Purple

1st Grade: Pink or Orange

2nd Grade: Red

3rd Grade: Blue

4th Grade: Yellow

5th Grade: Green

We Need Volunteers!

That’s okay — you can still show your support! Encourage your child, share their fundraising link with friends and family, or come out to cheer on the runners. Every bit of encouragement matters.


Let’s make this year’s Fun Run our best one yet.


Thank you for helping keep Emerald a strong, connected community! 💚

We are excited to announce that the Missoula Children’s Theatre (MCT) will be bringing their traveling production to Emerald Elementary this year! In just one week, two professional directors will guide our students from auditions to a full-scale performance, complete with costumes, sets, and music.
