Page 16: VOE  Get Ready for the VOE PTA Color Craze Run!; Message from VOE’s AmAZing PTA. Get Ready to Run (and get Colorful)! VOE Color Run is Coming! One of the most exciting, joy-filled events of the year is almost here-the VOE Color Run. A Color Run is a unique and energetic event where students start out in white T-shirts and end the run covered in bright, colorful powder tossed by volunteers along the course. It's a great way to promote fitness, fun, and school spirit all at once. While the Color Run is a blast for the kids, it's also our final big fundraiser of the year. The donations we collect from this event help fund important end-of-year celebrations and kick-start the next school year with events like Back to School Night and Kindergarten Orientation. In addition, the water program that  PTA funded for this year will not be possible next year without a successful Color Run. Flyers and Parent Square posts with prize tiers, donation links, and full event info will be our next week-stay tuned.  We will also need lots of parent volunteers to help make the day a success-from setting up the course to tossing color powder and cheering kids on. If you're interested in helping, we'd love to have you. For more information please reach out to Juli McDermott: vp@rimvoe-pta.org; Let's lace up, gear up, and get ready to make some colorful memories while supporting our school community.
