We have just kicked off our Color Fun Run fundraiser and our students are super excited. They will be bringing home a letter that tells you all about our program and the awesome prizes they can win. You can participate by registering at UltraSchoolEvents.com website and creating your child’s own page. You can then share that page with friends and family anywhere in the world.
The Color Run will be a fun event that takes place at our school in the next few weeks. Students who have donated $5 or more will get out of class for an hour to attend this event. We hope you will participate. Thank you in advance for your support of our fundraiser!
