2026 Day at the Races Fundraiser

 Welcome to the 2026 Marvin Elementary PTO Fundraising Page!  From safety enhancements and classroom learning tools to Leader in Me and new playground sun shades, your support creates a safer, stronger and more enriching school experience.

Let's Reach 100% Participation! Any Amount Makes a Difference!

RACE FOR THE PRIZES

The more you raise, the more you can win! Students will earn prizes at school when they reach $50, $100, $500, and $1,000 in donations.

Plus, every $25 raised earns one digital raffle entry for a chance to win one of our 14 incredible Grand Prizes! Winners will be drawn at the end of the fundraiser and will choose their prize in the order their name is drawn.

And there’s even more to celebrate! ALL students will unlock school-wide rewards as we hit fundraising milestones on our race to $75,000. The Top Classroom in each grade will also get to choose a special class prize, and our teachers will have a raffle of their own!

A DAY AT THE RACES: FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6TH

All of our Mustangs and their families are invited to celebrate the finish of an incredible fundraiser at our outdoor Day at the Races on Friday, November 6!

Parents are welcome to join us and cheer on our Mustangs as they race to the finish line! Wear your Marvin shirts or school colors and bring your Mustang spirit!

Students: Wear sneakers and your MES shirt or school colors, and don’t forget to bring a water bottle. Get ready to race, celebrate, and have some FUN!

HORSESHOE SPIRIT AWARD

Bring the Mustang spirit and go ALL OUT! Think colorful outfits, crazy socks, red + blue hair, tutus, accessories, and MORE!

The classroom with the MOST spirit overall will take home the coveted Horseshoe Spirit Award to proudly display in their classroom! And NEW THIS YEAR, we’re spreading the spirit even further — the classroom with the most spirit in each grade will also earn a Horseshoe Spirit Award!

Winners will be selected by the PTO Day at the Races Committee and school administrators, so show us your Mustang pride!

GRAND PRIZE: FINISH LINE FEST

If we reach our $75,000 school-wide goal, ALL students will unlock a Finish Line Fest on Monday, November 9 during recess! (Students only.)

We’re taking over recess with a DJ, spin art, tons of interactive inflatable games, and our D.O.G.S. joining in on the fun and playing alongside our Mustangs!
