The Incredibles Kick Off PTA Jogathon at the Incredible Jordan Ridge Elementary School

Posted on

They are incredible students at an incredible school. That’s why some superheroes calling themselves the “Incredibles” were on hand at Jordan Ridge Elementary as they held a kickoff assembly for the upcoming PTA jogathon. The “Incredibles” attended a school called Incredible Ridge and they wanted to inspire Jordan Ridge students to do their best in the Jogathon, using synergy and working together to achieve their goals. Students also found out about some amazing prizes that will be up for grabs during the Jogathon.

This year, Jordan Ridge is going above and beyond for their Jogathon, hoping to help support students with special needs at the Kauri Sue Hamilton School as well. Because Kauri Sue doesn’t have its own PTA, Jordan Ridge Elementary is reaching out to people and businesses in the broader community, encouraging them to make a donation to Kauri Sue (through the Jordan Education Foundation) so Jordan Ridge and others can show the students with special needs how much they care.

Way to go Jordan Ridge! Best of luck during this year’s PTA Jogathon on September 17.
