KERBY FUN RUN UPDATE: NEW DATE, SAME BIG GOAL!

☔ Due to the forecasted inclement weather, Friday's Fun Run has been POSTPONED to Friday, October 23rd!

🎉 The good news? We have another week to reach our fundraising goal!

We are currently 59% of the way to our $60,000 goal and are LESS THAN $5,000 AWAY from unlocking the Lou's Pet Shop Assembly for our students! 🐾🎉

💚 WE NEED YOUR HELP TO GET THERE! 💚

The Kerby Fun Run is our BIGGEST fundraiser of the year, and every dollar raised goes directly back into making Kerby an amazing place for our students and teachers!

Your donations help the Kerby PTO provide:

🍦 Popsicles with the Principal

🪩 Glow Dance

🎄 Kerby Holiday Market

🎡 Kerby Carnival

📚 Special programs, classroom support, and activities for our students and teachers throughout the year!

These events and experiences are offered FREE to Kerby families because of the generosity of our community!

❤️ Haven't donated yet? Now is the time! Every donation, big or small, brings us closer to our goal. Please consider donating and sharing our fundraiser with grandparents, family, friends, and neighbors!

🎯 Let's unlock that Lou's Pet Shop Assembly and keep pushing toward $60,000!
