Back-to-School Run
August 22, 2026
Dear Golda Meir Families,
As we look ahead to the 2026-2027 school year, we invite you to join Golda Meir Team for one of Milwaukee Public Schools’ favorite traditions—the annual MPS Run Back to School!
This fun 5K Run/1.5-Mile Walk will take place on Saturday, August 22 and raises funds for MPS youth recreation and wellness programs across the district.
Our goal is to have at least 25 participants registered by July 31. If we reach that milestone, Team Golda Meir will receive our own team-colored shirts and earn a $500 recreation and wellness grant for our school. Even better, the school with the most registered participants will receive a $1,000 grant. We’d love to see Golda Meir at the top!
