Fun Run

Fun Run Success!

Our annual Fun Run on Oct. 2 was filled with fun, celebration and lots of silly string! 

Our Eagles took laps around the parking lot to show their school pride and celebrate the culmination of our week-long fundraising campaign.

A HUGE congratulations to our SILLY STRING CLASS WINNERS: Ms. Latura, Ms. Bovey, Ms. Vuylsteke, and Ms. Dearden! 

We had a fun surprise this year with four winning classes instead of three! Our 1st & 3rd Grade group ended in a tie for first place, so both classes earned the opportunity to join in the celebration.

Mr. Hennings certainly received an extra dose of silly string — a fun and memorable way to celebrate surpassing our fundraising goal!

Thank you to all of our students and families for your incredible support and enthusiasm. We’re so grateful for the amazing school spirit you brought to this year’s Fun Run!

Clay Program

9/23/2026 4:29 pm

Help shape our clay program!

Interested in clay? Have experience - or none at all, but would love to learn? We’re assembling this year’s Clay Committee and looking for volunteers to help shape the program. 

There are lots of ways to be involved, with big and small time commitments, so you can do as much or as little as works for you. No clay experience is necessary - we’ll teach you everything you need to know. 

Our clay program is kept affordable because it is run entirely by volunteers, with knowledge passed down from year to year. Whether you already know your way around clay or are curious to learn, we’d love to have you join us. Reach out to art@peterkirkptsa.org. 

Clay classes begin soon, but the planning starts now!

During the Hunt, watch your email each day for clues to where that day’s kits will be hidden. Help spread the word—tell your Peter Kirk friends to sign up for our newsletters so they don’t miss the clues!
