Please join us to watch kindergarteners run and raise money for our school. Our students will run as many 1/16 mile laps as they can in 30 minutes at school. Please make sure students wear comfortable shoes and clothes, and bring a water bottle. Your child will receive a yellow shirt to wear for the Fun Run. Shirts will be put on students right before the run. Please keep these shirts to wear for Field Day at the end of the year.

Our Fun Run theme is: Shine Bright in Kindergarten. Please have your child wear their favorite pair of sunglasses along with comfortable shoes and bring a water bottle.

Our goal this year is to raise $23,500 so we are asking each student to set a fundraising goal of $65. We will be using our funds to benefit all our students! Donations are due on September 22nd. Donations can be made: https://r4funds.com/cherokeetrailrun26/donate/
