Comet Craziness is Underway!
Comet Craze is Kerr Elementary's annual fundraising campaign and fun run. The money raised will fund classroom support, educational resources, and enriching programs and events for our students at Kerr Elementary! 100% of your tax deductible donation will go directly to Kerr PTA. We'll celebrate this year's Comet Craze campaign with a 1-mile, chip-timed fun run on October 6! Parents can register to run with their Kerr Comets at cometcraze.com or volunteer to help here. 
Math Olympiads Program Starts September 26
Kerr PTA is sponsoring a new after-school math club. The program is open to students in grades 4-6 who have at least one PTA member in their household. Up to 35 students can participate in this volunteer-coached program. Learn more about it and sign up your math olympian today! 
Walk/Bike to School Day October 4
Kerr Elementary will join students, families, school leaders, community partners and mayors around the country on October 4 to celebrate the benefits of walking to school during International Walk to School Day. Join us by walking to school with your child that morning. After you drop off your Kerr Comet, stop by for a cup of coffee. Be sure to leave early enough so that your student is on time to school. Walk/Bike to School Day is sponsored by Kerr PTA!
