Parents can then head to the black top area, the parent cheering section is under the solar panels. During the fun run, parent spectators need to stay in the parent cheer section. IMPORTANT: Parents are not allowed to go on track or field during the run, just runners and volunteers.
Volunteering Parents (who signed up to help, but you also get to cheer!):
Thank you to all the volunteers who signed up! Please be on time and report to the office to sign-in and get a VOLUNTEER PASS. After, report to black top to sign-in. Look for the FUN RUN VOLUNTEER CHECK-IN sign on the tables under the solar panels.
General Reminders:
- Everybody show your Viking Spirit and wear spirit wear/school colors!
- Students, make sure you are dressed appropriately for run/walk. We recommend T-shirts, shorts, athletic shoes and sunblock.
- If a student uses an inhaler for asthma, please have it available during the event. If you have any concerns, please communicate with the teacher.
- SEND YOUR CHILD WITH A WATER BOTTLE, label the WATER BOTTLE WITH YOUR NAME. We will have water stations during the 20 minute run/walk to make sure our kiddos stay hydrated.
- Parents, feel free to make a sign to cheer on your student or your student's class during the run!
PLEASE BE AWARE: There will be a lot of activity on Friday on the blacktop. Along with the fun run, students will be out for lunch and recess. The last run, 11:15-12:15, will be especially busy. We need everyone to follow directions to make it a great day!

The Viking Fun Run raises critical funds for our school while promoting fitness and healthy habits. Proceeds raised by the TK-3rd Grades benefit Valle Verde PTA’s Viking Fund, which fully funds our Instructional Aides, Reading Specialist, Garden Education program, and technology platforms. Proceeds raised by the 4th and 5th Grade will benefit the 5th Grade Activity Fund, which sends students to outdoor education camp and fund graduation expenses.
We are looking forward to an amazing day on Friday with our wonderful Valle Verde students, teachers/staff and families!
