🏁 WHAT

Formerly the Ford Elementary Jingle Jog - we are now introducing the inaugural spring Mustang Madness 5K and Fun Run! This race is a fundraising event to benefit the Ford Elementary School Foundation. The Ford Elementary School Foundation (FESF) established in 2005, is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing enhanced educational opportunities that otherwise would not be a part of the Ford Elementary School instructional program. These additional educational opportunities can only be funded through Foundation efforts, and not through the Cobb County Board of Education or our PTA. For more information about the FESF go to here.
