Mark your calendars!

The Miami Trace Elementary School PTO is proud and excited to announce:
The 1st Annual MTES Color Run!

This is an idea that we have had for a few years and with the help of our MTES Admin team, we are excited to finally give it a go!

The Color Run will take place at the conclusion of our 10‑day Team Tressel Challenge and walk-a-thon fundraiser: Walk Across America! You will learn more about this challenge and fundraiser that your child will be completing in the coming weeks.

Parents and guardians, look out for a permission slip and t-shirt order form coming home this week.

Some FAQ about this event:

What is a color run?
- The Color Run is a fun event that will celebrate our school-wide Team Tressel Challenge that promotes fitness and healthy choices for students that will last a lifetime. It will be a non-competitive, untimed run or walk for MTES students in which they will be doused with vibrant, colorful powder at stations along the course. Students are encouraged to wear white to make them as colorful as possible!

When is the color run?
Date: Friday, April 3rd, 2026 (a non-school day)

Time: 11:00 AM

Location: Miami Trace Elementary School Playground area

Participants: For this year, MTES Students ONLY will be running/walking the course. Parents and siblings can watch and cheer on their Panther!
