Description

The Color Run is by far our biggest event and fundraiser. Students raise money from friends and family. We use donations as prizes and incentives for kids to raise as much money as they can. We use smaller prizes like free kids meal cards and ice cream cards as incentive for kids to reach different benchmarks, and use larger prizes as GRAND PRIZES to give out to the top earners. This has been a really fun way to create some competition with students and even parents get involved becuase they want certain prizes for their families.

The run is still a FREE event regardless of a student's ability to fundraise. It's held in the evening at school and kids run laps while getting sprayed with different colors. It is the Event of the year for the students and staff, everyone has the best time!

All profits go directly towards paying for student's field trips for the year, as well as supporting additional classroom/teacher and student needs. This also includes food/snacks and clothing closet for our families who are struggling financially. We strive to support every student inside and outside of school, and bring the community together through FREE events as much as possible.
