⚡THE BOLT⚡
Nora A.
Please consider making a donation in my name to Little Raven Elementary in support of the 2026 Little Raven Bolt Fun Run. On October 9, my classmates and I will run fun laps around our athletic field to celebrate having fun and being active.
Our goal is to raise at least $29,000 by October 9, which will directly support students (like me!) throughout the year. This is our largest fall fundraiser for Little Raven Elementary School, and ALL funds stay right here with our school. This money funds teacher grants, classroom grants, educational and technology programs, and fun school-wide events.

What is the BOLT?
The BOLT is a fun run on the Little Raven Elementary athletic field on Friday, October 9, 2026. Students will run or walk fun laps around the field with their classmates while parents and family members cheer them on. Students earn prizes for participation.
🎁 Exciting Rewards: Every student will receive a t-shirt, water bottle, and temporary tattoo in the days before the race. Please have your student wear their shirt on the day of the race!
Most of all, the BOLT is a celebration of the Little Raven community and a chance to bring people together in support of the school.

Notes to Grown Ups
We will NOT be doing a direct-sell fundraiser this year (no chocolate, no butter braids, no magazines), so neither you nor your student will be asked to door-to-door sell anything.
Don't see your student or spotted an error? Email us at littleravenpto@gmail.com and we'll help resolve the issue. Please note that some students are listed twice if they have multiple entries in our database (this typically occurs if parents/guardians have separate accounts).
