Join us for five weeks of racing fun this spring with Healthy Kids Running Series (HKRS) Caledonia! This exciting program offers age-appropriate races for children ages 2 through 8th grade, with distances ranging from a 50-yard dash to a 1-mile run. HKRS also proudly features a Challenger Division—an untimed 75-yard dash designed for children with special needs who may require extra assistance on the course.

HKRS is all about fun, inclusion, and family! All abilities and experience levels are welcome. Each week, runners earn points based on their finish, which accumulate throughout the five-week series. At the end of the series, the top three point earners in each division receive a trophy, and all participants receive a medal when they cross the finish line on Week 5.

Registration includes all five races, a tech t-shirt, sponsor giveaways, and a finisher medal at the final race. Single-day registration is available in person for $15 on race day.

Race Dates (Sundays at 4:00 PM):
April 19, April 26, May 3, May 10 & May 17
Rain date (if needed): May 31

Each race day lasts approximately one hour.

Paris Ridge Elementary is launching an expanded fundraising effort this year to provide even more support for our teachers and staff. A key focus of this initiative is funding teacher mini grants for additional classroom supplies, books, and special enhancements that enrich the learning experience for students.

As part of this effort, the Paris Ridge community is invited to dine at Applebee’s on Thursday, February 26, from 4:00–9:00 p.m. Simply mention “Paris Ridge Elementary” when placing your order, whether dining in, carrying out, or ordering online, and 20% of your total bill will be donated back to the school.

It’s a simple way to enjoy a meal while directly supporting classrooms and students at Paris Ridge.
