2025 Jog-a-thon

Friday, May 2nd

45th Annual
Jog-a-thon

The Run

On Friday, May 2, 2025, students, staff, and volunteers will be participating in the 45th annual Jog-a-thon Fundraiser. Students are challenged to run as many laps as they can around the school track to earn pledges that will help fund important SCA programs (like STEAM) and to obtain new equipment. These fundraisers also help to keep the cost of tuition affordable.

We are also encouraging a VIRTUAL RUN. If you want to support SCA but not able to join us on May 2nd. VIRTUAL runners should map out their route. The SCA track is 480 feet, which means it takes 11 laps to equal one mile.

Share your virtual run photos with us on Facebook or Instagram and tag us at #solanochristianacademy #scajogathon2025.

The Gear

This year we held a T-shirt design contest and the winner was from Alizabeth Brown.  Our official T-shirt for the 2025 Jog-a-thon theme this year is from Matthew 22:37 – “Love the Lord Your God with all Your Heart & with all Your Soul, and with all Your Mind.”

The T-shirts cost $22. For those who have earned enough sponsorships to wear the Jog-a-thon t-shirt with jeans everyday until the Jog-a-thon, be sure to order by April 14th to receive it for pre-event wear.

It’s a minimum school day, but many students preorder lunch for after the run.  You may preorder a Turkey & Cheese Sandwich ($8) and/or Fruit Smoothie ($8).   DEADLINE TO ORDER LUNCH 4/29/2025.

The Donation

Through partnerships with families, we are able to develop the minds, bodies, spirits and souls of our students. Through partnerships with our treasured donors, we are able to keep high-quality, Christian education affordable.  We know that building, nurturing, and sustaining relationships is important to the educational process. While instilling our students with tools to help them become contributing members of society is a priority, above all else, they must first know that they are valued.

Students may earn some cool prizes for their efforts.  They will be vying for the chance to win an iPad, class parties, SWAG, even a pie to the face of a designated teacher. And students may earn the privilege to wear their Jog-a-thon T-shirt with jeans every day until the Jog-a-thon.
