Pleasant Valley School hosting ‘Color My Future’ run
Proceeds go to buy books for Pleasant Valley School
–Pleasant Valley School in rural San Miguel will be hosting its third annual Color My Future 5K Run on April 17, starting at 8:30 a.m.
Community members are also welcome to attend the pancake breakfast ($10 tickets) and silent auction on Sunday morning. Registration still available.
All the proceeds for this run will go to English/ Language Arts textbooks for every student at Pleasant Valley School. The initial estimate for this purchase is over $30,000. The current textbooks are older than any of the students currently enrolled at the school, having been adopted in 2002. The textbooks are needed to keep up with the rigors of the new California standards.
The Run will begin at Pleasant Valley School, 2025 Ranchita Canyon Road in San Miguel, at 8:30 a.m. on Sunday, April 17, 2016. The 5K course runs through the Record Family vineyard adjacent to the school. Participants will be running, skipping or walking on the school’s behalf. Support is needed from the community by way of sponsorship, donations, and prizes. The Pleasant Valley Color Run Committee is looking for local businesses to help sponsor the event and have many levels of sponsorship available. For those businesses that may not want to sponsor, but do want to get involved, we are also looking for raffle items such as gift certificates or other merchandise gifts. As Pleasant Valley is a public school, operates under a nonprofit status and all donations are tax deductible.
Pleasant Valley is a one-school district and is one of the oldest school districts in San Luis Obispo County. It was established in 1884 and includes Kindergarten through 8th grade. This small country school with 115 students says it has been hit especially hard by the state’s budgets cuts and current economic times. Contact Debbie or Shelly at (805) 467-3453 for more information about becoming a sponsor or making a donation.
