In a recent government meeting, staff member Deidre Underhill provided an update on a successful community fundraising event known as the color run, which was organized towards the end of the school year. Underhill reported that the initiative aimed to raise funds for new playground equipment, with an initial goal set at $15,000. The event exceeded expectations, ultimately raising $22,000.

The total cost of organizing the color run was approximately $8,000, allowing the remaining funds to be allocated directly to the playground project. This community-driven effort not only highlighted the importance of local engagement but also demonstrated the potential for collaborative fundraising initiatives to enhance school facilities. The meeting underscored the positive impact of such events on both students and the broader community.
