Tamarack Otter Fun Run!

Our 2nd Annual Otter Fun Run, led by our Tamarack Community Group coming soon on May 30th!

You child/children will be bringing home a fundraising packet today (5/14).

A few things to know

All students will have a chipped bib to count their laps (also serves as a souvenir to take home!)
Students in Kinder and 1st grade will run, walk, jog for 20 minutes while 2nd-6th have 30 minutes; you can attend your child’s time, bring the family (see the schedule below)!
It is a fundraiser for our Tamarack Parent Group that helps pay for field trips, supplies, activities etc.
Getting pledges/donations is not required but gladly welcomed. They can bring in $1 if they want, there is no minimum or maximum (please keep all money in their envelope)
They can just get flat rate donations, or have relatives, friends give a money pledge for how many laps they do (these are collected after the run) ex: $1.00 per lab and they did 13 laps, that person that put in the pledge would give $13.00
Packets can be returned before the run if they just get flat rate donations, or to be eligible for the prizes, which are listed on the front packets, they Must be turned in by Wednesday June 4th as we are nearing the end of the school year

VERY IMPORTANT- Safety....We do not want students going door to door. They can go to close neighbors who they know well, but if they do not know the person we don't want them doing that. They can get donations from parents, family members, family friends, school staff etc. But NOT strangers.
At the close of each race, all students will snack on an Otter Pop with their classmates
This is a good day to apply sunscreen on your child...although, who knows what weather will be in store for us!

You and family members are invited to come to the turf field (at the check in table-no need to come to the office/turf field only) during your child’s ‘specials’ (PE/Music/OMSI/Library time) to walk, run, jog, skip or just cheer as students raise funds for the school. No pets allowed, but all other family members are welcome!

Here the tentative times for each class:

Chevalier/Tellez: 11:55-12:30

Hickman/Inafuku: 12:35- 1:10

Lopez Todd/Barei: 1:15-1:50

Looking forward to seeing you here, celebrating health and wellness as we raise funds for opportunities to support our kids and staff!
