Olympics Day is Friday, October 23rd! Every student from TK through 5th grade takes the field with their class. Every child runs and every child finishes.
It is one of our biggest fundraisers, with every dollar staying at our school to support PE, art, music, drama, classroom aides, smaller classes and more. Your child already has a fundraising page ready to go - adding a photo and quick message takes just a couple of minutes.
Cricket Runs are underway. Gates open at 7:45AM, and running wraps up before the 8:05 bell. Children can join on any of the dates listed on the Olympics Day 2026 page.
