Our Fourth Run for Reading is here!

 

Our 4,000 San Rafael public school students are warming up for the fourth annual district-wide Run For Reading, sponsored by HeadsUp. Our goal is to raise $100,000 for all school libraries. Students will receive weeks of on-campus training and conditioning in preparation for each school’s “lap-a-thon” day, where their efforts will result in dollars pledged to keep the libraries strong.

OUR KIDS NEED YOU NOW MORE THAN EVER!

Each and every one of you can make a difference in our children’s future here in San Rafael. Whether you’re a parent, a business owner or community member please join us in helping provide an enhanced and equitable education for all children who attend public school in San Rafael.

HeadsUp is a collaboration of parents, teachers, community members and school administrators committed to helping provide the best possible education for the 6,000 students in San Rafael’s elementary K-8 and high school districts. Because of the drastic state budget cuts in education, HeadsUp has made new commitments this year to help raise additional funds for programs that have been cut or reduced, including libraries, counseling and outdoor education.

Investing in our children’s education is one of the most important investments for the future you can make — as a parent, as a community member, as a business.

Our mission is to enhance the quality of education in our public schools by funding vital programs and services for all children, kindergarten through high school.
