Hello Middle School Parents,
This Friday, November 8, 2019, we are going to make up the middle school Color Blast. The Color Blast was postponed on the day of the Jog-A-Thon due to the weather. Please read below for updates and important information.
SCHEDULE
On Friday, Middle School students will gather on the back playground at 2:30pm for the Color Blast.
Color filled balls will be located in buckets in the middle of the back playground, middle school students will line the playground. When the Color Blast starts, students will run to the buckets, grab a ball and begin "blasting" each other with color. The Color Blast will last for 5 minutes.
DRESS CODE
Middle school students should wear their white Jog-A-Thon t-shirt and comfortable exercise bottoms & running shoes on Friday.
-
If your student chooses to wear running shorts that are shorter than 3" above the knee, running tights must be worn underneath.
-
If your student would like to wear running tights/leggings, athletic shorts must be worn over the top.
-
Tutus, costumes, boas and any other dress-up/silly dress items are not permitted.
WEATHER
The forecast for Friday is currently calling for sunny & clear skies. However,
the Color Blast will be postponed again if there is any moisture on the ground at the time of the event. Moisture makes the color blast balls less effective, making the event not as much fun or successful for our students.
COLOR BLAST BALLS
The Color Blast Balls we have purchased are soft fabric sacks filled with non-toxic chalk powder. The chalk powder is washable and a laundry cycle should remove any chalk residue, however, we suggest that students wear older, dark-colored clothing and shoes just in case. In addition, you may want to bring a towel or sheet for your student to sit on in the car. All middle school students will be given a pair of sunglasses for eye protection.
*According to our research, the chalk sacks don't emit enough chalk powder to make choking or coughing an issue, but if your child has asthma, please take necessary precautions. Please contact
Michelle Meador
with any questions regarding the chalk sacks.
We are looking forward to this fun event for our Middle School students.
