Students should be dropped off in the Field Complex parking lot between 8:30 - 9:00.** Volunteers will be meeting students at the curb in the hopes of a congestion-free drop-off experience. The Complex is located on W. Michigan Ave and Burrows, across the street from WMU’s rec center.
This fun, active event is a fundraiser to support The Friends of Gagie. Friends of Gagie is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization specifically created to benefit the learning environment at The Gagie School.
For this event, students are encouraged to find family, friends and neighbors to pledge a donation either as a flat fee, or per lap. A pledge sheet is attached to this form. Online payment will be available and is a fantastic way for out-of-town family members and others to conveniently send their pledge donation! Please see the attached pledge sheet for details!
The students will run in class groups and will have 20 minutes to run as many laps possible! A light, healthy refreshment and cheering for schoolmates will complete their event! Parents volunteer drivers will return the students to school for lunch and their regular afternoon. Please be sure to send a paper bag lunch and NO BACKPACK on this day. Parents are invited to stay for coffee and to watch and cheer for our runners!

Dear Friends,
The "Friends of the Gagie School" 501(c)3 nonprofit is available to help our learning community of students, parents, relatives, grandparents, alumni, and other friends support the mission of the Gagie School by making tax deductible financial contributions.
The Gagie School has operated privately by the Gagie Family since 1976. This nonprofit element will allow our school to stay competitive with other institutions and provide our students with supplies, technology, infrastructure, scholarships, and other materials that promote a robust and healthy learning environment.
Operating a private school has costly and unexpected surprises on a daily basis. Contributions made to the "Friends of the Gagie School" will help strengthen the foundation of learning at our great institution. Your donation is no longer “charity” or an “additional cost”, it is an investment into the sustainability of your child’s educational experience and to those for years to come.
Your gift will support:
- The strong tradition of academics, athletics, and arts programs at The Gagie School.
- The ability to grow diverse classrooms and provide new opportunities to all children.
- Retention of our teachers/staff and the ability to recruit and hire new talent.
- Maintenance, comfort, safety, and security of our buildings.
- Student success for the "whole child" long into the future.
In the near future you will see new literature, exciting events and opportunities for you and/or your loved ones to become involved in the greatest investment that one can contribute to, the education experience for our children’s future.
This is also a wonderful opportunity for children to learn about giving back. Our kids can raise money for improvements they are passionate about while they attend the Gagie School. Alumni can give back while identifying certain needs. Again, thank you on behalf of all of the students ... past, present, and future. Please reach out at any time with questions.
Sincerely,
Danielle Sielatycki, Board Chairperson
