FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Since the Roo Run is a new Wyatt event, we know you have questions. See below for the answers!
WHAT IS THE ROO RUN?
The Roo Run is Wyatt's first ever fun run, a fundraising event with an emphasis on fitness and healthy living. The kids will be running for approximately 30 minutes, at either 4pm or 4:30pm (your choice). This event is a color run, for a rainbow-filled good time! The Roo Run is open to Wyatt students only, but family members are welcome to watch and cheer on their students. Snacks and drinks will be available for purchase at the event. The Roo Run will be immediately followed by the biggest party of the year - Spring Fling! - from 5-7pm.
WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH SPRING FLING?
The Roo Run will be taking place right before Spring Fling, so you'll be able to enjoy an entire afternoon and evening of fun with your family! Transactions for these events occur separately - you'll need to process Roo Run pledges at thegetmovincrew.com, and order Spring Fling tickets in our PTA online store - but otherwise these activities are combined into one fun-filled event for maximum convenience and enjoyment. Thank you for the many contributions of items and money toward our Spring Fling class raffle baskets; please note that these donations do NOT count as Roo Run pledges.
WHAT IS A "COLOR RUN"?
There will be stations along the running course where adults will blast the students with brightly colored powder! Wear a white t-shirt and sunglasses for maximum coloring effect! Note - there will be a non-powder zone for those preferring not to participate in this. For more info on the "color run" concept, check out this video: http://youtu.be/4EERSfHiqT8.
WHY SHOULD MY CHILD PARTICIPATE IN THE ROO RUN?
First and foremost, it is fun! Also, by collecting a minimum of $15 in pledges and registering online, your child will get a wristband that allows them free entry and unlimited free games and activities at Spring Fling (which costs $15 for those not participating in the run). Lastly, your participation allows Wyatt PTA to continue to financially support the students and staff at Wyatt with fun and educational activities and materials.
HOW DO I GET STARTED?
Register your student by visiting thegetmovincrew.com and clicking on the Let's Get Movin! Red box. Pledges can be accepted online through The Get Movin Crew's website - it's easy to share with friends and family using the email, Facebook, and Twitter links on your student's fundraising page! Cash and checks (payable to Wyatt PTA) are also accepted at the school - please label these donations with your student's name and teacher. A minimum amount of $15 in pledges is required to participate in the run.
WHAT DO I DO THE DAY OF THE EVENT?
Wear your sunglasses and white t-shirt and come to Wyatt for one of the races, which will be held at 4:00 and 4:30pm - you pick your time. Your student should arrive 30 minutes before their race time to pick up their running bib and Spring Fling wristband. Bibs should be returned to the PE coaches at school on Monday, April 18 for Marathon Kids mileage credit. After the Roo Run, stick around and enjoy unlimited games and activities with your Roo Run wristband (you'll still need to buy tickets online or at the event for raffle baskets, drinks, and snacks), and grab dinner at one of the food trucks.
HOW DO I GET UPDATES ON MY PROGRESS?
Visit your student's fundraising page by logging in at thegetmovincrew.com to see your pledges to date; cash and checks will be added to the system weekly. Every Friday at 8pm until the end of the campaign 4/29, the class and grade leader's amounts (not names) will be posted on our Wyatt Elementary PTA Facebook group. Not a member?
