Dear Hygiene Community,

We are off to such a wonderful start this school year, and I want to take a moment to thank you for your continued support and enthusiasm. Last week’s Time Capsule Ceremony was truly special—what a joy it was to honor our past while celebrating the bright future of our Little Hawks! In addition, our students were able to experience the Planetarium visit, which was made possible thanks to our PTO and the funds raised through last year’s Jogathon. These opportunities enrich our children’s learning in ways that extend far beyond the classroom.

As we look ahead, we are excited to share that our annual Jogathon is just around the corner on Thursday, September 25. Our goal this year is to raise $30,000, which directly funds so many of the traditions and experiences that make Hygiene such a vibrant school community: Hawk Air, Fall Festival, annual classroom field trips, Talent Show, STEAM Fair, and much more.

By now, each family should have received a Jogathon donation envelope. Donations are officially open, and every contribution—big or small—helps ensure our students continue to enjoy these incredible opportunities. We also hope you’ll join us on Jogathon day to cheer on your child and share in the fun and excitement.

Thank you for always going above and beyond for our students. Your support is what makes Hygiene such a strong and caring community.

With gratitude,
Renee Collier
Principal

What is the Hygiene Elementary Jogathon?
The Jogathon is Hygiene Elementary School’s big annual fundraiser organized
by the Parent Teacher Organization (PTO). The PTO invests the proceeds
directly into the school to pay for bussing for field trips, to provide $400
classroom supply budget for every teacher, to purchase technology for
student use in the classroom, playground equipment, and for PTO-sponsored
activities throughout the year such as Fall Carnival, STEAM Fair, Spelling Bee,
Hawk Air, Talent Show and much, much more!
