Hello BVCS Families! The Jog-A-Thon Is Back!

We’re bringing back a favorite tradition from before 2020—the BVCS Jog-A-Thon!

From November 4–19, our Kindergarten–6th grade students will participate in Grace & Gobble: Jog-A-Thon 2026, culminating in a fun Jog-A-Thon Color Run and Thanksgiving Rally on November 19.

This year, our goal is to raise $100,000 for the BVCS IMPACT Fund, which supports BVCS's initiatives beyond what tuition provides. As students gather sponsors, 90% of the funds raised will support the BVCS IMPACT Fund, strengthening Academics, Innovation & Safety, Staff, Athletics & Theater Arts, and Tuition Assistance.

And we’re continuing something special from our Do-A-Thon years: giving back. Each grade will be paired with a local or global mission partner, and 10% of the funds raised by that grade will be given to its mission partner. Throughout the Jog-A-Thon, students will learn about their mission organization and discover ways to pray, encourage, and serve.

Of course, part of the fun of bringing back Jog-A-Thon is getting our kids moving! Students will gather sponsors, earn some great prizes along the way, and then come together on November 19 to jog and celebrate all that God has done through their efforts.

We’re excited to bring this BVCS tradition back—and we can’t wait to see our students run, give, and make an IMPACT!

More details about sponsorships, Peer2Peer giving, prizes, and our November 19 celebration are coming soon.

In Christ,
Kris Giannosa

Big Valley Christian School
