Tomorrow is the big day! Our school-wide Fun Run is finally here, and every single student will get to participate and have a blast on the course.
Here is everything you need to know for tomorrow:
**What to Wear & Bring:** Please make sure your student comes to school wearing sneakers and brings a water bottle. We are keeping a close eye on the weather and will move the fun run indoors to the gym if it rains.
**Parents Are Invited! (Weather permitting....if OUTSIDE only)** We would love for parents and families to come join us and cheer on the kids from the sidelines.
**Run Schedule**
12:00-12:20- Opening Ceremonies (Futsal Court) - Acknowledging Top Donation Earners
12:20-12:40- Grade Kindergarten
12:40-1:00- Grade 1

We are blown away by your incredible support so far—we have raised a fantastic **$6,436**!
**Leading Classroom:** A huge shout-out to Mrs. Stenstrom's class, which is currently leading the pack at over $1,000! If they stay in the lead, they will win the Golden Sneaker trophy to keep in their classroom until the next Fun Run. There is still time to get ahead! Mrs Duffy’s class is trailing by only $60! It’ll be a close call!
**Top Fundraisers:** The top 3 individual fundraisers will enjoy a special lunch with the principal, plus a special shout-out during the fun run on Friday.
There is still plenty of time to get in on the action! Donations will remain open until October 23, so feel free to keep sharing and fundraising.
