While it may be the 5th year for Aviator Flight Fest, not everyone knows of this important day for Sycamore Junior High School. Flight Fest is the largest fundraiser that SJH delivers during the school year. The purpose? To raise funds that support the 25+ extra-curricular activities at SJH. These activities include clubs like our outdoor club, walking club, partners club for students with disabilities, math club, our power of the pen writers, and many more. SJH prides itself in having great variety in activities, so that every student who attends here has an opportunity to get involved.
Aviator Flight Fest has grown over the last 5 years to become a day of excitement within the Sycamore Community Schools and the community at large. In its 5th year, Flight Fest hopes to deliver an even greater challenge to racers, entertainment to participants, and surpass its previous fundraising goals. In 2014, 500 runners and walkers took to the streets of Montgomery to conquer our challenging course. This fall we will offer a new 5K route for walkers and runners, and our first ever 10K route for runners.
The day begins in the early morning with runners and walkers taking to the course. At the conclusion of the race, participants are greeted with breakfast and coffee, and are invited to join in the festivities of the day. Carnival games and prizes are available for kids of all ages, and adults enjoy our bid-n-buy auction area. Families can enjoy refreshments and delicious food supplied by local supporters throughout the festival. The festival remains open for the duration of the morning, so that if you aren't able to make the race, you are still able to come and have some fun.
Aviator Flight Fest is scheduled for October 10, 2015. Registration is opening soon. So put down that watermelon and stop lounging by the pool, because training starts now!
See you at the starting line!
