Second-graders get ready to run during the Red and Yellow Run on Oct. 14.
The Cherokee Bend community gathered together to participate in the Red and Yellow Run on Sunday, Oct. 14. The Red and Yellow Run is a community-building event where students and their families completed a one-mile color run. Seven hundred adults and children signed up to hit the streets on a gorgeous October afternoon. Each class spent time coming up with a dress-up theme and showed up dressed crazy and ready to go with faces painted.
After the run, families were invited to stay for a harvest picnic, complete with Dreamland BBQ and music. Students had a blast playing tug of war, ring and egg toss games and competing in a potato sack race.
We appreciate the enthusiastic participation from Cherokee Bend families and would not have been able to pull off such a successful and fun event without their support.
