Soar on Skimmers Fun Run
Where Every Step Sparks School Spirit!
FINAL SPRINT TO OUR GOAL
Our goal for this year’s event is $50,000. We are almost at the halfway mark! Any last-minute pushes for donations are greatly appreciated and will help bring exciting opportunities to our students. Our total annual goal is $250,000 to fund technology classes, the Spanish program, GreenHeart Project, staff professional development, and Aquarium “Think Tank” maintenance and stocking.
Classes that have the most participation or raise the most funds will be recognized by the Friends Group. IF we reach our goal of $50,000, Ms. Cassell, Ms. King and Friends President, Paige Hauff will become a human ice cream sundae; yes you read that correctly!
Where is the event taking place for SIES Students only?
The run/walk will be held on the beach directly behind the school at:
2014 Mike Perkis Pl, Sullivans Island, SC 29482
PARKING & VIEWING
Families can access the beach from the school boardwalk or from any access point between Stations 21–23. These locations will put you right along the 0.25-mile course, giving you great spots to cheer students on as they run back and forth.
