TCE Color Run
Town Center Color Run - October 20th, 5:30-7:00 PM - A Note From PTO
It's time for our biggest fundraiser of the year, the Color Run! Funds raised will pay for the classroom grants we fund in November, field trip buses, Field Day, and Teacher Appreciation Week. Here are the details:
The fundraiser runs from October 2-20. Every TCE student will receive a free Color Run shirt and be able to participate in the run on October 20 at no cost. Any parents and/or non-TCE kids who would like to participate can register to run for $20 by clicking here. If you register to run by October 4, you will get a Color Run shirt. Registrations after the 4th will not receive a shirt.
Each class has created a goal/rewards chart for donations that come in under their name/class. Watch for your child's chart in their teacher's weekly blog. The more the class raises, the more rewards the class enjoys together! You can donate online at www.towncenterpto.org or send cash or a check (payable to TCE PTO) in an envelope with your child's grade and teacher. Registering family members counts towards the class donation. Make sure to send out the donation link to grandparents and anyone who would like to donate. We began taking donations on Monday, Oct. 2.
The classes will earn their rewards together, as a team, but the top two earners in each grade will be recognized and get to start their grade's run first.
Pizza can be preordered here starting Oct. 2. Drinks and frozen treats can be purchased at the run.
If you have any questions, you can email Heather Thurgood at president@towncenterpto.org.
