Text reads: Its coming.. Gold Rush Fun Run. March 20, 2026. We are excited to host a full day of Irish-themed fun for our students! The event will feature four activity stations, including a fun-run track, an inflatable slide, an obstacle course, and a refreshments area. To support this event, we are asking each student to reach out to family and friends (not through door-to-door sales) to help sponsor their participation. All proceeds will go directly to our school, allowing us to invest in meaningful improvements rather than selling items through outside companies. Our fundraising goal this year is to expand our outdoor play area by adding extended concrete slabs and new basketball goals. This enhanced space will be used daily during recess and will also create opportunities for outdoor learning. Thank you for helping us inspire our students to be determined. Be inspired. Be unstoppable. Register your student at www.99pledges.com/fund/ncfunrun2026/addme or scan the code. A QR code is provided at the bottom.
