THIS EVENT HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED FROM MAY 20, 2023 TO JUNE 19, 2023.
THERE IS NO SCHOOL ON MONDAY, JUNE 19TH DUE TO THE JUNETEENTH HOLIDAY.
SPRING CARNIVAL & FUN RUN - MONDAY, JUNE 19, 2023 9am-1pm
This event has been rescheduled from May 20th to June 19th (same time, 9am-1pm). The planning committee (about 10 parent volunteers), made the agonizing decision to postpone this event due to the forecasted rainy weather. Please know that every Saturday and Sunday in June was considered, but the planning committee ultimately decided on Monday, June 19th since there is NO SCHOOL on that day due to the Juneteenth holiday. A lot of planning and organizing goes into this event, and all parents are welcome to join the next PTO meeting on Wednesday, June 14th at 6:30pm in the cafeteria to finalize the details of this event.
All runners who were registered for this event on May 20th will automatically be registered for this rescheduled event on June 19th. Parents/Guardians will need to sign a new waiver with the updated date when they check-in their child before the run.
Thank you for your understanding and let's keep our fingers crossed for a sunny day on June 19th!
