PHOTOS: Christopher Lake students get messy for a good cause
With budgets tightening, schools across the province are forced to come up with creative and colourful ways to raise funds.
On Friday, the third annual Christopher Lake School Colour Me Fun Run raised over $19,000. That’s no small feat for a school with a few hundred students. Principal Dejan Letkeman explained to paNOW that the money goes to help enhance the educational experience of the students.
“For example technology, field trips, special presentations, those kinds of things,” he said.
Dozens of students took part in Friday’s event which featured an obstacle course in the school field, complete with a tires challenge and a water gun station. Numerous stations came equipped with colourful chalk which the children gleefully welcomed.
