Fun Run Message
Aloha Ka`a`awa Elementary School
The PTO is excited for our upcoming 5K Fun Run: “Lights, Camera, Ka`a`awa 5K”. We have rebranded our marketing to play-up all the movie locations that you get to see on the run and our sign-up numbers have quadrupled!!!
We are really excited about this, and we are working hard to have a great event, so we wanted to share some tips to make things as smooth as possible.
- Early check-in : Friday April 7, from 2-5 pm at Kaaawa Elementary by the cafeteria. Check-in and pick up your T-shirts for yourself and your family to avoid long lines Saturday morning.
Day of check-in will open at 6:30.
- North entrance: The ‘farm road’ entrance to the run site will be open for cars coming from the north. Follow the signs.
- Parking: We will have volunteers guiding cars to park in the ‘low camp’ area. Please follow their instructions and drive safely.
- Keiki Safety: Due to the large number of participants, the run will be much more crowded than in years past. Please maintain contact with your kids and have older kids use the buddy system to stay together. We suggest you designate a “meeting spot” in case you do get separated. There is limited to no cell phone service in the valley so please plan accordingly.
- Water & waste: Ka`a`awa Elementary is proud of our partnership with the Kokua Foundation and our designation as an “Aina IS” school. In line with these values we will not be handing out single use plastic bottles.
Kokua Foundation will provide a water trough for you to refill your reusable bottles, and there will be compostable cups with water at about the ½ way point of the run. Please come with a full water supply and refill your bottle as needed at our water station.
Please be mindful of any waste, rubbish etc that you may come across and dispose of it properly.
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to call or email PTO President-
Karla (818) 859-4582 bkmac10@gmail.com
If you have signed up to volunteer- THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! We will be contacting you. If you have not heard from Karla, please contact her.
