Superintendent's Fun Run
PLEASE SIGN UP!!! It is competitions between the schools to see who get the MOST!!!
Join in the fun on Saturday, March 21, 2020 for a 5k run, a 1-mile stroll through Cy-Fair FCU Stadium, student performances, family games, vendors, food trucks and fun for the entire community at the seventh annual Superintendent’s Fun Run and Festival.
We have contributed nearly $400,000 to the Cy-Fair Educational Foundation in the last six years, and I can’t wait to see what we do together in 2020!
Dr. Henry will host a reception with cake for the schools with the highest percentage of staff and student participation. Let's make it RENNELL!!!
If you can’t come to the fun run, you can still contribute to student scholarships by purchasing a $10 sleep in pass. Early registration is open now until March 2, 2020!
