Someone is ready for the COLOR RUN at Coelho
Dear Parents and Guardians,
We want to update you on the timeline of events and some general info for this Friday's Color Run at Coelho Middle School.
The event will take place from 11:30 to 2:00 PM. There will be a DJ, Ice Cream Truck, Obstacle Course, Games, and a Photo Booth.
Each student will receive a wristband that will grant them 1 free ice cream and will have the opportunity to purchase others if they choose.
Students who earned prizes will receive their t-shirts and prizes in homeroom the morning of the event.
Grades 5 and 6 will participate in the color run starting at 11:30 AM and Grades 7 and 8 will start at 12:30 PM. The color run will take place in the backfield of the school and there will be parking available for parents who are volunteering or coming to see the event.
At 1:00 PM we will host the Pie in the Face Contest, in which 5 students and a staff member will get to throw a pie in the face of their “Most Favorite Coelho Staff Member”
We encourage students to bring a change of clothes to change into either before or after the event since this gets a little messy. In past years, students have brought a towel to help wipe off all the color….
The Knighton Family has generously donated 2 raffle items (5 New England Revolution Tickets and a New England Revolution Jersey signed by the team) If you aren’t able to attend the event, you or your child can purchase tickets all week in the main office.
We just want to say thank you to the Coelho PTO. Your hard work, dedication, and effort to put this event together is what makes Coelho Middle School a special place. We also want to say thank you to all the families, friends, and students who helped support Coelho Middle School. Because of your efforts, we were able to raise a total of $28,637.00. We could not have done this without you.
Andrew J. Boles
Proud Principal of Coelho Middle School
