IMPORTANT COLOR RUN UPDATE INCLUDING DATE AND TIME CHANGE

Dear Centennial Families, 

Due to the impending forecast for Friday, the PTA and school staff have decided to reschedule the Color Run and Picnic to Monday, November 7th.  In addition to the weather, daylight savings time will take effect this weekend.  It is because of this, that we must also change the time of the Color Run and Picnic. 

Color Run:

The new time for the Color Run will be 3:30-4:30pm on Monday, November 7th.  Volunteers will be available starting at 3:10pm for lap card pick up. Remember, you do not have to arrive at 3:30pm, you can run anytime between 3:30-4:30pm.  PTA will send home Color Run t-shirts TODAY, Thursday, November 3rd with students in their backpacks. Students are invited to wear their best Color Run outfit/Crazy Hair on Monday, November 7th.

Picnic:

The Picnic portion of the evening will be from 4:30-5:30pm. The IN-N-OUT food truck will be available from 4:00-5:30pm. 

Volunteers:

For those who want to sign up to help volunteer, or CHANGE their volunteer availability, please use the link(s) below and please note the NEW DATE and TIMES for our Color Run/Fall Picnic:

Centennial Elementary PTA - Plano ISD, TX - Color Run 2022 (membershiptoolkit.com)

Centennial Elementary PTA - Plano ISD, TX - Fall Picnic 2022 (membershiptoolkit.com)

PASAR:

For parents whose children are in PASAR after school, PASAR will still be open. Students will not be able to leave PASAR to participate in the Color Run without being picked up from PASAR first. Please email the PASAR site manager, Lulav Saleem, at Lulav.saleem@Pisd.edu for questions or alternate arrangements. If you want to change your child’s dismissal for Monday from PASAR to another option, please make sure to contact Melody.Michael@pisd.edu before 2pm on Monday, November 7th. 

 

We understand that due to the change of date and time, it may not be possible for some families to attend on Monday.  Please know that there are many moving parts to these events, including vendors, food trucks, volunteers, and more! The Color Run/Picnic is our PTA’s largest fundraiser of the year.

These funds go to support many of the programs that enrich the elementary experience for all students at Centennial. The PTA will receive approximately $1905.00 from the IN-N-OUT truck alone! You are still welcome to donate flat rate donations to the Color Run, even if you are unable to attend. 

See you on Monday, November 7 at 3:30pm! 


FALL PICNIC - MONDAY, NOVEMBER 7 4:00-5:30 PM

We need volunteers to help with the fall picnic.  If you would like to volunteer please visit Centennial Elementary PTA - Plano ISD, TX - Fall Picnic 2022 (membershiptoolkit.com) to sign up.
