Bastian Parents, Guardians, and Students, 
Thanks for another great week at Bastian Elementary! Right now, we're prepping for our annual Color Run on September 24th! I'm excited to experience this for the first time! From what I hear, it's always a great event!
Color Run:
The most important fundraiser of the year is well underway, and the Color Run is officially scheduled for September 24th from 4:00-7:00 p.m. There will be food trucks, a dunk tank, a silent auction, and of course the Color Run itself/
The money earned from this fundraiser will our PTA ensure that this year is a great one for our students and teachers, so please join me in supporting it!
If you’re looking for other ways to help out Bastian and our amazing PTA, we’d like to make you aware of the need we have for volunteers to help make the event a success. There will be opportunities to help out each day before the event begins, as well as helping out during the Color Run itself! You’ll find a link to sign-up to help below! Thanks for your assistance, this event would not be possible without our amazing PTA and volunteers like you!
SIGN UP TO VOLUNTEER HERE!
Color Run Incentives:
So far, Bastian has raised over $5,000 for our school. At the $2,500 mark, we declared a Crazy Hair Day. Now, we’re happy to announce our next incentive: Pajama Day!
This Friday, September 11th, students are invited to attend school in their comfiest PJs!
The next benchmark is $7,500 which will earn our students popsicles at recess! After that, there are additional incentives along the way to our $18,000 goal. If we meet that goal, I’m getting duct-taped to a wall...that’s going to take A LOT of duct-tape.
Reflections: 
Our Reflections contest has officially begun, and entries are due by October 2nd. Each student that enters will earn their Hogwarts House 3 bonus points! Support the arts and your house!
Ravenclaw Wins August’s House Cup:
Speaking of the House Cup, congratulations to the Ravenclaw students for winning during the month of August! I'll be working with the Ravenclaw House teachers to plan and announce their reward soon!
Thank you for your continued support,
