Staying Connected
A little color went a long way at Wheatland Middle. The fifth annual Tiger Color Run brought students out for an afternoon of running and walking in support of the field trips, assemblies and clubs that help round out their school experience.
Hosted by the Wheatland Middle School- FTO, the run is the organization’s largest fundraiser of the year. The event featured a 1.25-mile route with music and five color stations along the way. Each grade took its turn on the course, with students choosing their pace and whether to pass through the color stations.
The fundraiser has brought in $2,883 so far, including a $500 donation from Rainmakers Association to help fund field trips, assemblies and clubs for Wheatland students. Families and friends donated on behalf of students’ grades, with sixth grade leading at $1,100, followed by eighth grade with $748 and seventh grade with $535.
Thank you to the Wheatland Middle FTO and the teachers, staff, students, families, volunteers and community members who helped make this year’s run possible. Donations will be accepted through October 16, 2026.
