Brought to you by the Shepard Elementary PTA
Dear Parents,
Wow, when Mr. Lillie and I began planning the Color Run four months ago we had no idea what to expect for Shepard. We should have known that our parents, community, students and staff would dive in and make the event a smashing success.
Our 1st Annual Color Run was a smashing success! It made our hearts so happy to see the turn out and how happy the students were running around the track. The teachers were having so much fun throwing color and being apart of the fun. It was a night to support Shepard, but also celebrate our community spirit.
We have raised $16,450 and the website is open until Friday. If you have not registered or shared it is, it's not too late.
We have a few more important events coming soon at Shepard.
March 24- Kindergarten Round-up
March 24- PRIDE Rally
April 4- Pee Wee Patriots
April 7- Volunteer Appreciation Lunch
TOGETHER WE CAN!
As always, thanks for your support!
