STEM SECONDARY ACCELERATOR FUND COLOR PARTY 2026
Dear STEM Secondary Families,
We are so excited to officially kick off this year’s Boosterthon Accelerator Fund Color Party!
Last year, because of YOU, our Boosterthon fundraiser allowed us to give back to our students in some incredible ways. Your support helped us create and update learning and outdoor play spaces, support many of our student clubs, and provide much-needed equipment upgrades for our athletic teams.
This year, with your partnership, we hope to continue creating those same kinds of meaningful opportunities for our students, staff, and families!
And if you’re wondering what the Accelerator Fund Color Party is all about, we’ve got you covered! Check out the highlight video below for a look back at all the colorful fun from last year!
Then, keep scrolling! We’ve included everything you need to know about this year’s fundraiser, including:
- How to register your student and start fundraising
- What students can expect over the next two weeks
- How students earn their way to the Color Party
- What students should know and bring on event day
- How parents can volunteer and get in on the fun!
We can’t wait to partner with you for another exciting Boosterthon fundraiser and celebrate all of our students’ hard work at the Accelerator Fund Color Party on September 9!
Thank you for continuing to support our students and our STEM community! 💙💛
In Partnership,
LynAnn Kovalesky
Executive Director

HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE 2025 COLOR PARTY!
WHAT TO EXPECT OVER THE NEXT TWO WEEKS
You’ll see some familiar faces from last year’s Boosterthon around campus! The Booster team will be on site hosting fun assemblies, activities, and competitions to get our Secondary students excited about the fundraiser and the Color Party.
As students reach different donation milestones, they’ll earn prizes that will be delivered during lunch.
And then comes the best part—the Color Party!
HOW STUDENTS EARN THEIR WAY TO THE COLOR PARTY
Just like last year, the Secondary Color Party is a pay-to-play event. Any Secondary student who raises a minimum of $25 will earn the opportunity to participate in the Color Party during Access on Wednesday, September 9!
Students will have the opportunity to purchase additional color packets from Student Government, and STEM staff will be outside joining in on the fun and celebrating alongside our students.
And yes—we’re bringing back the leaf blowers! At the end of the event, students will have the opportunity to get blown off with leaf blowers to help remove some of the extra color before heading back inside.
WHAT TO KNOW FOR EVENT DAY
The colored powder used during the event will be flying through the air and may get into students’ eyes, noses, mouths, hair, and clothing. Students who have sensory sensitivities or would simply prefer some additional protection are encouraged to bring goggles and/or a mask to wear during the event.
We also want students to be able to participate at a level that is comfortable for them. Students who would like to be outside and enjoy the excitement without being directly in the middle of the color will have an area off to the side where they can participate with less exposure to the flying color.
PARENTS—WE NEED YOU!
Want to get right in the middle of the action? We’ll be looking for parent volunteers to help us make the Color Party happen!
Volunteers will help throw color at designated intervals throughout the event and cheer on our students as they celebrate.
