JES Jog-a-thon
JES Jog-a-thon
The JES Jog-a-thon is a spirited annual event designed to promote fitness, fun, and community involvement among students at Jenkintown Elementary School. Students participate by jogging or walking laps within a designated area, encouraging physical activity while raising funds to support school programs and resources. The event fosters school spirit and teamwork, with families and staff coming together to cheer on participants. Proceeds from the Jog-a-thon directly benefit school initiatives, helping to enhance the educational experience for all students.
