THIRD ANNUAL “RACE FOR CHASE” TO BENEFIT Fifth Grade Legacy Mosaic
Chase Street Elementary School’s Race for Chase draws hundreds of contestants from across the Southeast for a chance to compete, exercise, and to support a good cause. The school’s Parent Teacher Organization is planning a third race for Saturday, March 27 at 9:00 a.m (Treefrog Trot at 8:30 a.m.).
Dedicated runners will find registration and information about the race on all the usual websites: www.runningintheusa.com, www.active.com, and in Georgia Runner Magazine’s Grand Prix listings. The race expects to draw runners from far and near. Local athletes, and even those who are happy to take advantage of the race’s “walkers and strollers welcome” policy, can register on race day. Additionally, a one-mile “Treefrog Trot” is open to anyone (especially kids!), starting at 8:30 a.m.
The race course begins and ends at the school, with ample parking at the corner of Chase Street and Dubose Avenue. Registration is $15 before March 19, and $20 thereafter. All proceeds benefit the Chase Street Elementary PTO’s projects for the coming year.
Fun prizes will be awarded and T-shirts are provided to all registered runners (while supplies last!). Refreshments will be available to runners, and a good time is a sure thing!

The PTO is hosting an Our Shared Forest (OSF) Family Science Night February 18th from 6 to 7:30 at Chase Street Elementary, but to put the P in the PTO part, we need you to volunteer to help run this event. OSF is a standards-based, multi-cultural, environmental education project about the importance of conserving existing habitat and reestablishing fragmented habitats of neotropical migratory birds in North and South America. Our Shared Forests connects local education to global conservation! The event will feature fun, hands-on science activities, live insects and snakes from the University of Georgia and a coffee tasting of 1000 Faces Coffee (available at our school as a PTO fundraiser).
I need people to help make copies, pick-up supplies, set-up and clean-up, decorate the gym, perform a puppet show (puppets and script provided), make desserts, serve desserts, and just generally help as needed. We would like to have enough volunteers so that families can work in shifts and then spend the other half of the night enjoying science night with their family.
You can look over the puppet show and the activities here: http://www.uga.edu/botgarden/pdfs/OSFsciencenightmanual.pdf
If you’d like to volunteer contact me at stacynelliott@gmail.com or 706-424-1310. THANK YOU!
