Rita Murtagh

Rita is a new preschooler at Suder Montessori, a diverse Chicago Public School on the westside of Chicago (near the United Center where the Bulls play). Rita is making friends and taking advantage of offerings like a Mandarin program supported by Friends of Suder. I was very excited to join this group to support kids and teachers and even more so when I learned that 50% of the kids live in households below the poverty line and really need the support of this organization to attend field trips, etc. Rita will not actually be running with her classmates as due to her heart surgery she won't return to school until after the run. However, we were surprised today to learn that 9 days post surgery she's been cleared for some easy jogging and we're going to find an open field where she can complete the run on her own (it's probably for the best she's not there because she's competitive and might try to win :D ) I know there are lots of fundraisers going on right now so am hoping maybe she could get a lot of $5.00 or $10.00 donations? It would make her really proud to return to school knowing she helped win her class a pizza party. Thank you!

About this Campaign

Rita Murtagh

Funds raised by the Suder Sprint will support FOS’s mission of Montessori enrichment at Suder and ensure equitable access to educational opportunities for ALL.


 WHAT IS THE SUDER SPRINT, YOU ASK?

Organized by the Friends of Suder (FOS), the Super Sprint is a day of fun, fitness, and fundraising for our Suder Community!

Funds raised by the Suder Sprint will ensure that ALL of Suder's students are able to attend fabulous field trips and Nature's Classroom.

HOW MUCH MONEY DO WE WANT RAISE?

Our goal is to raise $30,000. And we will raise $30,000! Here's how:

(1) Kids are going to ask their parents, aunts, uncles, friends of parents and more to support their running through pledges or donations. 

(2) All of us are going to ask one local business to donate to/sponsor the Suder Sprint. Instructions in the Sprint packet sent home.

WHERE IS THIS AMAZING RACE TAKING PLACE?

The students will be running/walking/dancing lap after lap at Park No. 578. Please join us with your cheers, signs, and encouragement. The Suder Sprint is going to show our community the wonderful spirit of Suder Montessori.

HOW CAN I MAKE SURE MY SUDER SPRINTER PARTICIPATES?

In order to participate, your Super Sprinter needs a signed permission slip to run and to eat yummy (and healthy) snacks when they finish. Make sure to return those permission slips.

Also, every Sprinter will get an awesome T-Shirt, so we need your Sprinter's T-Shirt sizes.
