Dear Eudora Elementary School Families,

Welcome back to school! The EES Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) has some dynamic plans for our year and we're excited to get going! We start our year with the Jogathon, the PTO's fundraiser that sustains our yearly budget. Rather than asking your student to sell items, we ask them to collect monetary pledges and donations from family and friends to sponsor them as they jog or walk during an event to be held during school on Friday, September 12th. Your child, their classroom, and the entire school will earn prizes based on the amount of donations they collect!


The students run during their “Specials” times as listed below. Time is allotted for stretching and reminders about safety before they take off jogging the track around school grounds. As students walk or jog, staff and family volunteers monitor and encourage their progress. If you'd like to volunteer, please send an email!


The PTO will use funds raised during the Jogathon to send all students on educational field trips selected by their teachers. In past years, our classes have learned about the science of football at Arrowhead Stadium, enjoyed the Kansas City and Topeka Zoo, watched a show at the Lied Center of Kansas, and experienced Science City at Union Station. We're excited to see where your generosity can send them this year! Depending on funds raised, we would also like to support special projects or materials for our students, classrooms and facilities. In years past, for instance, the PTO used Jogathon donations and partnered with the district and the Eudora Schools Foundation to install two new pieces of inclusive recess equipment to our playground. Thank you! 


Watch for the donation envelopes to come home with your child soon. We'll be sharing all the details about Jogathon and other PTO happenings on our Facebook page, Eudora Elementary PTO. “Like” us to see our posts! 


You are invited to come cheer from the side as they laugh, dance, and run. Before coming to the playground, please check in at the front office as you would any time when visiting EES. The safety of our students is a priority to us; please send your student to school with sunscreen on their noses, tennis shoes on their toes, and a reminder to stay hydrated as they exercise. PLEASE SEND A WATER BOTTLE TO SCHOOL WITH YOUR CHILD!


We thank you for your support and are so grateful to be among such a generous community of families.  

We love our school!
