This is a Glastonbury Public Schools PTSO fundraiser to support the PTSO Mini-Grant program. This program provides seed money for instructional and non-instructional projects across our elementary, middle, and high schools. You can see past awarded grants and the projects we have funded in the bottom section of our Mini-Grant Program page. If you cannot attend but wish to help our mini-grant program, please consider a donation.
A huge thank you to our sponsors!
Please contact GlastPTSO@gmail.com if you’d like to sponsor this event in some way (such as a station, an event, or a gift card donation for our winners).
Can I buy a ticket day of?
Yes! Please bring exact change if paying in cash, or be ready to show your SignUpGenius confirmation email. **Please note that tickets will be $25 per person on the date of the event. Buy early and save!
If I have to go "you know what", do I have to use a porta-potty?
You can if you want, but we will also be able to use the bathrooms by the Smith gym.
Where do I park?
Please park in the Smith staff parking lots by the school. The baseball field lot will be closed for our food trucks.
Where can I learn more about past mini-grant winners or to apply for a mini-grant for my child’s school this year?
See the PTSO Mini-Grant website HERE.
I’m older than 4th grade, do I have to do the Zombie Dash instead of the Boo Bash?
Absolutely not, our activities are for everyone. This is just a suggestion because the zombies might scare our younger attendees.
Can I go to the Boo Bash instead of the Zombie Dash?
Of course! The bounce house is the only activity that is reserved for our younger attendees.
How do I win the races?
Our Boo Bashers will be running from station to station, and their prizes will be collected along the way. Our Zombie Dashers will receive raffle tickets upon completion of the race to put in our prize boxes. For everyone’s safety, there will be no contact with the zombies and we advise everyone to be careful on any wooded paths.
Should I dress up?
Encouraged but not required! Costume prizes will be awarded for both sets of participants, and anyone who wants to may join our costume parade.
Can adults run?
Of course! Adults can run both courses with your kids (or even the zombie without). Bonus points if you are also in a costume...we might just throw you candy or prizes too!
