It’s time for the 13th annual Trojan Nation sponsored by the Maroa-Forsyth Community Club!  What is the Trojan Nation?  The Trojan Trot is a wellness race that serves as our Community Club’s primary Spring Fundraiser.  The races will be done inside during school hours on Friday, May 2, 2025 and all elementary students K-5 will be able to participate regardless of the amount of money they raise.  Prior to the event, students will request donations from family, friends, neighbors, local businesses, etc. in order to win prizes!  (The more they raise, the more they win!)  This is a fun and healthy activity for our students, with the donation proceeds going directly back to our school.

Did you know that the Community Club has helped fund many items the students enjoy?  The Community Club has been able to fund items such as indoor recess activities, reading materials, technology for the classrooms, as well as assist with the school wide art projects.  In addition, we sponsor the Back-to-School Carnival, Family Literacy Night, Splash Cove and many other events throughout the school year.  All of these are made possible by the generosity of friends, family, and community support of MFGS and the MFCC.  Help us raise money by pledging an amount to your student today.  Remember all proceeds go directly back to the students of the grade school.

We are asking for your help to make the TROJAN NATION a success.  Today your child came home with an envelope containing a donation and prize incentive sheet.  Please help your child contact family, friends and neighbors to ask if they would consider making a donation to the Maroa-Forsyth Grade School Community Club.  Students have about 3 weeks to collect donations.  All money must be turned in by April 11th, 2025.   Those students who collect $50.00 or more will receive an exclusive t-shirt for this event.  Other prizes will be awarded based upon the level of donations collected.  See the Trojan Trot Prize List on the collection envelope.  

Maroa-Forsyth parents who are ADM colleagues can maximize their donations to the Trojan Trot fundraiser through ADM’s Matching Gift program.  ADM will match colleagues’ personal contributions of $100 or more.  Colleagues may visit www.adm.com/colleaguegiving to enter a matching gift application and learn more about ADM Cares programming.

THANK YOU MFGS Community for your support and we appreciate all the volunteers willing to help make our Trojan Nation Fundraiser an amazing one!
