18 Apr COLOR RUN!

Posted at 14:35h in Newsletter by

The Color Run will be at 5:30pm on Friday, April 28th. This is one of the biggest fundraisers of the year for our school. Because of the timing of spring break we only have a few weeks left to go! We are asking teachers to help get students, families, friends and community members excited for this event!

Our goal is to raise $40,000. If every student in the school raises $75 we will not be far from our goal! All students have to do to run is register through

After students have registered they can upload a picture and send out ‘pledge’ donation requests to family and friends through Pledgestar. Pledgestar tracks students’ progress towards their goal as well as a Leaderboard that shows the whole school’s totals by class name! 

How does the run work? Students will run around the school (see map) and get sprayed with washable, non-toxic paint at each color station. They will get prizes at the 5 lap and 10 lap marks!

How can you help? Please share this information with your class and encourage them to register to run and send out donation requests! It is free to register (no registration fee). Students will get a swag bag just for registering for the event. If they send out 5 donation ‘pledge’ requests through Pledgestar they will also receive an official Color Run t-shirt to wear on the day of the event!

Everyone is welcome and invited to run in the Color Run, adults too! However, if students want to get an awesome swag bag, official Color Run t-shirt or be in the running for other prizes – they will need to register (and send out donation requests).

  • Top Earner Prizes!! 
    • 1st place prize: Smart Watch! 
    • 2nd place prize: $100 Gift Card to SnapDoodle Toys in Issaquah
    • 3rd place prize: Arena Sports Package (1 hour of either jump zone or laser tag, and 2 hours of unlimited arcade play)
  • CLASS THAT RAISES THE MOST MONEY WILL GET A PIZZA PARTY! (Currently Ms. Shafer’s class is in the lead!)
  • REGISTRATION ENDS April 24th. We are sorting t-shirts and swag bags in the days before the event so this is a hard deadline.
  • WE NEED VOLUNTEERS! We will need a lot of volunteers to make this event run smoothly! Please consider volunteering for either set up, punchcard puncher, prize booth, color station or clean up. You do not need to volunteer for the entire duration of the event, even an hour commitment helps! If you want to dress up in your rainbow gear and stand outside the school during drop off and pick up on race day you are more than welcome to as well!

Help us reach our goal of $40,000 – this will be our biggest fundraiser of the year!!!
