TIGER DASH AND DUCK DERBY

Tiger Dash & Splash is a not-to-miss event this Sunday, May 17th 3-5pm. Fun Run for the first hour and then the venue shifts to the creek for the Duck Derby. Dash races will be separated into grade level heats beginning with 5th grade at 3:15pm. Route will be one lap around on the sidewalk that boarders the playgrounds and fields. New racers are encouraged to arrive early to have best choice in t-shirt sizes (no charge for shirt). For anyone that has raced before, we will have limited reprinted sizes and shirts available if your Tiger Dash shirt from 2 years ago no longer fits.  Racing Tigers can decide whether or not to be doused in color at the finish line!
Ducks will race in heats beginning around 4:15pm with winners announced immediately following the derby. Prizes will be distributed to those present and sent home with students next week for anyone not creekside. Weather forecast for Sunday shows a major dose of summer weather so bring a giant water bottle, sunscreen, and a hat. DJ Nico and Retro Sno will also be on hand to keep the fun meter off the charts! Join our PPE community for the last hurrah of the school year!
