Made Possible by the PTSA
The Bobcats Fun Run would not be possible without the PTSA. This event is largely funded by the PTSA and is entirely organized and run by a team of volunteers from the Clara Barton community.
In addition to dedicating hundreds of volunteer hours towards creating the Fun Run, our parent volunteers have also personally donated supplies and gifts to help make the Fun Run a fun and successful event. For instance, a parent volunteer has agreed to purchase another swag item for all the kids at Barton.
Thank you Clara Barton PTSA!
