Fun Run Info
It's time for our annual Husky Hustle Fun Run – our biggest fundraiser of the year! We kicked it off with a BIG OL' Kick-Off Assembly on Monday! It was SO fun to see all the team names and flags they designed.
Please REGISTER your student ASAP at http://pledgestar.com/oakview55369 and SHARE your donation link with friends and family!
We will have three teams school wide: TEAM BLUE, TEAM YELLOW and TEAM WHITE. Each classroom has been assigned a team for the Fun Run. Please talk with your student(s) about their team and encourage your student(s) to take part in the activities over the next two weeks and Fun Run. There are prizes for each classroom as they meet their fundraising goals. We have also ordered t-shirts for ALL students to wear the day of the fun run and for future field trips.
To make this memorable, each day has been assigned a dress up day where students are encouraged to dress for these themes, if they so choose to do so.
Monday: Pajama Day
Tuesday: Beach Day
Wednesday: Rainbow-Wear ALL the Colors Day
Thursday: Career Day
Friday: Team Spirit Day- Wear your Fun Run Shirt!
The Fun Run itself will be held on Friday, September 26th, 2025. If the weather cooperates, the event will be outside, and families are invited to come cheer on their runners. If the event needs to be moved indoors due to poor weather, we will be unable to have spectators. So, let’s hope for a great, sunny Fall Day!
Please send any questions to our PTO Fun Run committee at oakviewpto.funrun@gmail.com
We appreciate your support,
