Walk/​Run With Us and Other Brooklyn PTAs!

On Saturday, Oct. 24, PS 241 is participating for the very first time in the Brooklyn PTA Fun Run for Schools, a run/walk/toddle around Prospect Park that raises money for Title I schools (including ours!) Absolutely everyone—young, old, experienced and not, runners, walkers, strollers, tricycles, scooters, wheelchairs—is invited to join. Click here to join the PS 241 team!

Registering for the fun run is $7 for kids and $14-28 for adults; if cost is a barrier, you can register for 50% off with code FunRun50 and for free with code FunRunFree. The more participants our team has, the more funds our school receives, so please don’t hesitate to join in. 

Be a part of the PS 241 Fun Run (or fun not-run) team—or just show up to cheer on your fellow 241 community members! Come one, come all, for a gorgeous fall morning in Prospect Park 🍂👟🍂
