The color is designed to wash out, and loose powder can be brushed off at the end. We recommend wearing clothes and shoes you don’t mind getting colorful.

Have a kid who doesn’t want to get messy? No problem, there will also be a color-free lane.

BUT..the fun doesn't stop when the Color Run ends, it just kicks off our:
SWS Acts of Kindness Week Fundraiser
The importance of Kindness

Did you know, kindness is not just a moral value; it is a scientifically proven driver of physical health, emotional well-being, and social connection? Just one act of kindness can create a ripple that makes a difference in so many lives. 

From November 9 to November 13, join us as we create that ripple as we fundraise toward our goal.

This year, the Starkweather PTO is excited to launch our 1st Annual Acts of Kindness Week Fundraiser — Kindness Starts With Me!

Our goal is to inspire our wolves to spread kindness while raising funds that directly benefit the Starkweather school community.

Throughout the week, students will complete acts of kindness based on daily themes focused on themselves, their families, their wolfpack, their school, and the greater community.

Friends and family can participate by sponsoring one day, multiple days, or the entire week! For each sponsored day, they can make a donation and select an act of kindness for their Wolf to complete based on that day's theme.

Our goal is to raise $20,000 to support field trips, assemblies, student and staff events, and more!

Together, let's pay it forward, spread kindness, and make a difference for our entire wolfpack!

Already over 5K raised toward our goal!

While we have a long way to go still, we are so excited to report we have already raised over $5,000 towards our goal of $20k. That's so much kindness already set, can you help us spread more? See the video below for setting up your page.

Here’s a quick video on how to set up your child’s fundraising page. Go to your account to locate your child’s page, click on it, and follow the directions in the video to customize! Then share it with family and friends. Thank you for spreading kindness! 

This fundraiser is about more than reaching a financial goal. It is about showing our children that even the smallest acts of kindness can have a meaningful impact.
