Run the VALLE FUN RUN & FIELD DAY SET FOR JUNE 3rd!
Run the Valle Fun Run and Field Day Set for June 3rd, 2025!
This year has been full of the unexpected.... through it, we have learned to overcome obstacles, increase our flexibility and get entirely creative and resourceful!
Our 2025 Run the Valle and Field Day experience is the perfect way to celebrate some monumental accomplishments.
This year, we will reflect on and represent all of those obstacles through a 1/2 mile Run the Valle Challenge & Obstacle course for grades 3-8 and a 100 m dash bubbles course for K-2.
We will also have bounce houses, super fun field games, snacks and most importantly, time together as a school!
A sign up genius will be sent out as soon as possible with volunteer and donation opportunities!
Thank you to our 2025 Run the Valle & Field Day Sponsors!
