Unfortunately, it is very likely that there will be heavy rain on Saturday during our Fun Run and Fall Festival. But no worries! Fun Run and Fall Festival are still ON, rain or shine!!!

In case of rain :

• ​Boosterthon will move the event into the gym. It will not be an actual run due to the space and safety reasons. If we move indoors, kids will be participating in a Fit Challenge instead of the Fun Run. The kids will still be exercising (dancing, running in place, jumping, ...etc). There will be a DJ playing music. There will still be lots of fun and exciting for the kids. We encourage all families to attend and all teachers and staff to come out and cheer on our kiddos.
• Fall Festival activities will also be moved indoors. There will still be plenty of activities for everyone to have fun!

Our main fundraiser in 2015 will be our Fall Festival & Fun Run. It will be a fun and exciting event for all students, families, staff and our community! Our hope with this fundraiser is to raise enough money to be able to fully fund field trips for all grades, purchase a field day t-shirt for all students and be able to pay for and donate 10 iPads to the school.  And, our students will have a wonderful 9-day character building experience.  ​
