Red & Yellow Run
Cherokee Bend sixth-graders gather for a paint-splattered photo as they finish this year’s Red & Yellow Run.
During the first week of school, Cherokee Bend Elementary School held a pep rally to introduce the first Red & Yellow Run that was held on the afternoon of Sept. 14.
Students and teachers dressed up to show the fun of the color run around the Cherokee Bend community. On the day of the run, participants from the school, as well as the community, could participate in a 1-mile run and/or a 3-mile run, both of which were untimed and doused participants in paint while on the route.
Signs to support the students were standing in front yards, and onlookers cheered on the participants. After the run, a celebration featuring music, drawings and dinner was held on the CBS fields.
