Thank you for supporting our Neon Fun Run! We met our fundraising goal thanks to your efforts - Go Fairmont!
Our annual Neon Fun Run fundraiser is back in bright colors!
On Friday, October 2nd, get ready for the Neon Fun Run, where students will light up the track in their brightest colors to raise money to support educational programs and enrichment experiences for all Fairmont students.
Throughout the school day, each grade will take turns running, walking, and rolling laps around the field to show off their school spirit and celebrate our community!
Parents, family, and friends: Don't miss the Watch Party! Cheer on the racers from outside the Eureka Ave. fence, and snap pictures of your child at our photo station!
FUNDRAISING GOAL: $60,000
