Barnard Mandarin Magnet Elementary School
Jog-A-Thon 2026
What is the Jog-A-Thon?
Jog-a-thon is our students’ favorite fundraiser – it’s a fun and healthy way to raise money for all that we’ve budgeted to support our students: Resource Teachers, Aides, Mandarin Curriculum, San Diego Youth Science, Field Trips, Raz Kids, iReady, Classroom Supplies, Community Events, and MORE! All this great programming costs $170,000+ to run! Thanks to your support of BAG, we’re more than halfway there. Now, students can take a vested interest in their education and ask friends, family, and neighbors for donations to sponsor them running as many laps as they can at the Jog-a-thon to support Barnard Mandarin Magnet Elementary School!
The Jog-A-Thon funds important programs that benefit all our students, including:
- San Diego Youth Science
- Field Trips
- Supplemental Mandarin and English Curriculum
- Raz Kids
- Campus Improvements
- Classroom Supplies
- Community Events
- and MORE!
