Jog-a-thon 2025 is here!
Jog-a-thon is Dennis Chavez Elementary’s LARGEST fundraiser! It is a fun, healthy event where participants jog or walk as many laps as they can in 15 minutes and raise money to support our school. Funds from this event are used to fund supplemental curriculums, updated technology, resources for our STEAM lab, teacher allotments for classroom needs, and other valuable student programs at Dennis Chavez Elementary.
