What: Mathathon is a huge fundraiser for Sunrise with 100% of the proceeds going to the school.
When: February 1 is the Kick-off. See timeline below.
Why: Sunrise Drive FFO raises tens of thousands of dollars for field trips, artists-in-residence, Community Garden, 5th grade legacy project and dozens of other campus programs through Mathathon. Our families achieve this while students have fun studying math — it’s a true win/win for Sunrise and students!
How: Students get pledges from family and friends for either(a) each math problem answered correctly on the Test Day (March 9), or(b) a flat amount.
- February 1: Mathathon packet with pledge instructions goes home.
- February 1 to March 8: Use test from take-home packet for practice - the more practice the better!
- March 8: All“per problem pledges†must be received. Flat pledges can still be made after this date.
- March 9: Test day! Remember, math is fun! Volunteers needed!
- March 29: All pledges must be completed online. Any money paid after this date will not be included in the calculation of prizes(though, of course, it will be accepted).
EVERY participating student will take home a prize, regardless of the amount they raise. Our goal is 100% participation. Let’s set a new record, Sunrise!
