“Growing Wildcat Champs”

Color Splash & Dash

The Guest PTA is proud to announce our 2018-2019 fundraising effort! The PTA sponsors many great events for student enrichment and family fun. Our PTA helps fund; reading programs, classroom technology, educational assemblies, Spelling/Geography Bees and more. This year the PTA has many awesome events planned such as the ice cream social, run club, family dance, G.R.A.N.D., the annual variety show and our yearly carnival. To help pay for all of these wonderful opportunities, Guest asks families to participate in our biggest fundraiser, The Color Splash & Dash. The more funds we raise, the more amazing things we can provide for our children and our school.

Color Splash & Dash:

To celebrate our fundraiser and promote exercise and healthy living, we will be hosting our sixth annual Color Splash & Dash on Friday, October 19th, 2018. The run, which is sponsored by PTA, will be held at Guest, during the day. This is NOT open to parents or to the public except volunteers. If you are not familiar with this type of run, participants will run, walk or stroll around the course while being “splashed” with washable powder; a sure way to impress any elementary child!

We are excited to begin our second year of Wildcat Time! During Wildcat Time, cross-grade level (K-5) groups of students move to another teacher’s classroom to spend time participating in team building activities, engaging lessons about the 4-Rs (RESPECT - RESOURCEFUL - RESILIENT - RESOURCEFUL), working on strategies from our PBIS, Conscious Discipline, and around our school's theme: There is a HERO in all of us.

We are very excited to continue strengthening our school community through this program. We will have approximately six Wildcat Times this school year.

At Guest Elementary, we are committed to developing and sustaining a positive building culture. We hold all students to high expectations. We know how important it is that students see the home-school connection as a united front and we appreciate your continued support.
