MacArthur Fun Run
Each May, MacArthur students take part in the annual fun run to raise funds that will directly benefit all MacArthur students and classrooms. The fun run combines the exercise of running while completing obstacles, inflatable stops and other hands-on activities to burn off energy.
Fundraising begins a few weeks in advance of the run and students can solicit family and friends for donations to help them earn prizes through their own, personalized webpages. Individual classrooms and the school overall will set goals to motivate the kids and earn incentives while focusing on building character traits (think empathy, kindness, courage) of our Eagles.
Once we launch this year's campaign this page will be updated with event information and links to build your child's webpage. Check out photos below to see past year's events.

Why This Year is Extra Special
We are doing something a little different! This is our Final Spring Run. Starting next year, we’re moving the Fun Run to the Fall.
Why the change?
We want our students to actually see and enjoy the fruits of their hard work! By moving it to the beginning of the year, the funds raised can be put to work immediately, benefiting the kids all school year long. Let’s give the Spring season one last legendary send-off!
To make our big dreams for MacArthur a reality, we’re aiming for an average of $100 in donations per student. Whether it’s through family, friends, or neighbors, every dollar brings us closer to a better learning environment.
Your contributions will go directly toward:
-
Next-Gen Tech: Modernizing our classrooms with the latest tools.
-
Adventure Awaits: Supplementing field trips for every single grade.
-
Fresh Resources: New educational materials and classroom supplies.
-
Learning Upgrades: Enhancing the spaces where our kids grow every day.
How You Can Join the Fun
Families, teachers, and students—we need YOU! Come out to cheer, run, or volunteer. Let’s show our kids what a community can achieve when we move together.
Let’s make this final Spring Run the biggest one yet!
Thank you for being the heart of MacArthur Elementary. We can’t wait to see you at the starting line!
