The funds raised help to offset the cost of tuition and pay for many school enhancements.Funds are placed in a specific Marathon account and are invested back into the school, its teacher, and its students. Examples of how some of the funds were used:
For our school, Marathon funds were used to purchase:- Supplies and furniture for our classrooms.
- Enrichment curriculum materials, a supplemental and adaptable math and language arts curriculum, a specialized reading curriculum for students with dyslexia, a curriculum mapping program to ensure we are meeting and exceeding all standards, and other instructional supplies.
- STEM activities, keyboards for iPads and other classroom technologies.
- Marketing for our school and the online conference scheduler.
For our teachers, we used Marathon funds for:- Professional development in Science and Engineering curriculum.
- Reimbursements for teachers so they do not need to use their own money for classroom supplies.
- Staff service projects and staff appreciation days.
For our kids, Marathon funds were used to:- Purchase Gaga Ball Pits for the students to enjoy.
- Fund our Courage, Kindness, and Leaving a Legacy retreats as well as the Digital Citizenship presenter.
- Purchase supplies for our middle school engineering partnership with Totino-Grace, and the onsite.
- Fund the ExploraDome exhibit.
- Fund classroom field trips and service projects.
