From the Organizer
At Ashland Elementary, we try to take our 4th and 5th grade students on at least one outside-the-classroom experience every single month. These trips come with a price, and we never want any student to miss out on these opportunities because of the financial burden they could put on families. These field trips help expose our scholars to pathways they may never have known about — whether it’s in the arts, science, or possible future careers!
The Eagle Chase 5K is our way of keeping those trips fun, educational, and affordable. All race proceeds go directly toward field trip costs, including two big end-of-year adventures for our 4th and 5th grade students! Whether you run, walk, or sponsor a student, you’re helping our scholars experience learning beyond the classroom while easing the cost for Ashland families. Walkers are absolutely welcome — every step makes a difference!
Thanks for supporting Ashland Elementary! We’re a small public school that does big things for our students. Help us make every mile count! 🦅
