The JY Joyner 5K Run/Walk
March 9, 2025
The JYJ 5K Run/Walk is one of the PTA’s biggest fundraisers. The PTA supports all kinds of amazing programs and events for our school community, such as mini grants for teachers, groundskeeping efforts, Joyner Jamboree, Science-Go-Round, Backpack Buddies, the Cultural Arts Program, Teacher Appreciation, and much more. The 5K Run/Walk on March 17, 2024 at 2pm is the grand finale event of our month-long Healthy Choice Marathon which celebrates healthy minds and bodies by encouraging students to read, eat well and exercise daily.
JY Joyner Elementary School’s 5K Run/Walk aims to teach kids about the benefits of making healthy lifestyle choices –- and raises money to fund annual programs for our 500+ student body. As an annual Joyner tradition, race participants have helped fund PTA sponsored programs such as:
- Conscious Discipline training
- Cultural Arts presentations
- Teacher Appreciation
- Campus beautification
- Science Go Round
- First in Fitness
- Technology updates
- Upgrading multi-media equipment…and so much more
