Ultra Fun Run Preparations Underway!
Allen Elementary had its Ultra Fun Run kickoff last Friday! We know that students are all so excited for this event and we hope to raise money so the PTC can support our school all year long.
The Fun Run supports school playground improvements (such as the upcoming Gaga Pit that will be installed in October 2021) as well as STEAM initiatives, VAPA and science supplies, and field trips. This fundraiser makes a HUGE difference in the types of programs the PTC can support at Allen Elementary. Here is photo of kids playing Gaga:
The fun run is one of our school’s biggest fundraisers, but it also requires a lot of participation on the part of our entire school community. Students and parents received information from our PTC on Friday, Sept. 3rd.

LCFF Survey Forms – ALL families should complete this
We are asking all of our families to participate in an important survey – the Local Control Funding Formula Collection Data for 2021-2022. This quick survey will have a critical impact on your child’s support and services.
The survey is as simple as answering two questions:
- How many people are living in the home?
- What is your total monthly income?
Please be honest and accurate in answering this short survey. The link for this survey is located at our school blog, www.allenelementary.org. Those forms are available here in 3 different ways.
You can complete this form online here: Local Control Funding Formula Collection Data Online Form

Benefits for your child include:

- Additional staffing to provide supports for students
- Extended learning opportunities for students
- Before and after school programs
Teachers and our school team will be monitoring participation of this as it will make a big impact on our school’s budget. To encourage participation, all classrooms with 100% participation will receive extra recess and a healthy snack party. We appreciate your time and support in ensuring your child receives what they need and deserve in our school. Please return the survey on or before Friday, September 10, 2021.
Your cooperation and participation will keep our students at the core of our district’s decisions. Thank you!
