S.R.C. News
MPS COLOUR RUN!
PLEASE... HOLD THE PRESS!
STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING!
ENSURE YOU ARE SITTING DOWN FOR THIS NEWS...
WE HAVE THE MOST EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE CENTURY!
ARE YOU READY... FOR SOMETHING...
INCREDIBLE?!
IN TERM 2, MURRUMBEENA P.S. WILL BE DOING ITS FIRST EVER, VERY OWN COLOUR RUN!!!
Okay okay, we will take a deep breath... and calm down, so that we can fill you in with all the most important details...
What's the Colour Run?
Okay, so basically, picture this... you're running laps of the oval with your besties and classmates, there's music playing, you're running through amazing inflatables and while you run, you're getting RAINBOW COLOURED POWDER tossed at you!
Our Colour Run will be on Friday 20 May, after lunch.
Students will be asked to wear white for the day so that we can maximise our rainbow-ness!
We will all be outside on the oval and we will run with our year levels.
How do we actually participate?
You can earn donations for participating in our Colour Run. You don't get a donation for each lap, but family and friends can donate anything from $1 to $1,000!
On Monday, you would have received a brochure to take home that gave your parents instructions to sign up to the School Fun Run website and create a fundraising profile.
It's so important that you do this ASAP so that we are able to begin fund raising as soon as we can!
Don't forget - not only are you raising money for M.P.S... you're earning prizes for yourself!
You can earn incredible prizes just from raising only $10!
There are tablets, scooters, slime kits, virtual reality goggles and so much more up for grabs... but you MUST sign up (with your parents' help) first.
What are we fundraising for?
Over the past 18 months, the S.R.C.s have desperately been raising funds for something super important; new drink taps around our school.
In 2021, the S.R.C.s sold Murrumbeenies and Movie Day tickets, raising approximately $5000 for our cause. This year, we have raised money through our Cookbook sales and Murrumbeenie sales (approximately $1800) so we are well on the way to our goal... we just need a little bit more!
Our new drink taps are going to be really special for many reasons. First and foremost, this cause was selected by our students, who identified a problem in our school and want to take action to fix it!
The new drink taps will be:
- More sustainable, as they are on a timer and will not leak.
- Very colourful and customisable, with our S.R.C.s selecting their features and colours. (Colours will NOT be as seen below and have not yet been chosen).
- COVID-conscious and hygienic with a mouth guard (to avoid kids putting their mouths on the bubbler component) and will be hands free (children press the button with their foot).
- Practical, as they will have function to fill drink bottles as well as for children to drink directly from the tap.
However, remember, we cannot raise money for this worthwhile cause without your help!
Please ensure that your child's fundraising page is up and going ASAP by signing up on the School Fun Run website and sharing it with your loved ones...
LET'S DO THIS, 'BEENA!
