A Word From Mrs. Agee
The PTA has been working for weeks to prepare for the Color Run and it is always a lot of fun. If you are available to volunteer that day, we certainly appreciate the help! I'd like to extend a huge thank you to the many volunteers and PTA members who help us pull off such an incredible event.
Color Me CFKN Color Run
Our third annual “Color Me CFKN” Fundraiser will be held on Friday, November 8, 2019. Students are encouraged to ask their parents, family, friends and neighbors to donate to the event to support the salaries of our science lab instructor and school librarian. CFKN does not receive district funds for these positions and the PTA is responsible for raising approximately $25,000 to cover the entirely of their salaries. The CFKN PTA is a 501c3 charitable organization, so donations are tax deductible and we are proud that 100% of the funds raised stay at CFKN.
Donations can be made in the form of cash, checks or online at www.colormecfkn.com.
There will be individual student fundraising incentives and each classroom will be competing to raise the most money.
If you can volunteer to help the day of the Color Run, please sign up at this link, https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0d45ada722a5fc1-color3.

Book Fair customers may help the school build classroom libraries by purchasing books through the Classroom Wish List program. In addition, the Book Fair will feature the All for Books™ program, where students can share the thrill of reading with others by donating loose change to purchase books from the Book Fair for the school library, your child’s classroom library and for kids who are unable to purchase books. Scholastic Book Fairs® then matches those monetary donations with a donation of up to one million dollars in books from The Scholastic Possible Fund, which distributes books to children in need through organizations, such as Kids in Distressed Situations, Inc. and the Kids In Need Foundation.
