Principal's Message
Dear Zeh Families,
This Friday, October 10th, is our Fun Run! Students in grades 3–5 will run from 1:30–1:55, followed by students in grades K–2 from 2:00–2:25. If we reach our fundraising goal of $10,000, students will celebrate by spraying me with silly string at 2:30!
On Monday, we will have an all-school pajama day to celebrate reaching the $2,500 mark. In addition, next week we have some additional whole-school rewards to work toward. At $5,000, students will earn an extra recess, and at $7,500, we’ll celebrate with a picnic lunch.
Families are welcome to attend and cheer on the runners. All students will participate in the run and celebration, regardless of the amount they raised. To help the day run smoothly, please communicate any dismissal plan changes ahead of time by sending a note or email.
We’re looking forward to a fun and exciting day! Have a great weekend!
Mr. Bell
