It’s time for our annual Huskies Run fundraiser! Now through October 6th, our students can raise money to help their school in our biggest fundraiser of the year. The run will take place on Friday, October 3rd during the school day, when all students will walk or run a designated course around the school.
👕👕 PLEASE HAVE YOUR CHILD WEAR THEIR KELLER SHIRT TO SCHOOL THE DAY OF THE RUN. 👕👕
We need everyone’s help! The money raised helps the PTA fund:
PTA programs
Field trips
Assemblies
Technology
Classroom supplies
Events
Parking lot safety
Equipment
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:
Register your child at: https://app.givebacks.gives/huskiesrun25/Campaign/Details
Donate online using a credit or debit card. Please note: When making a donation, you’ll be prompted to tip. The tip DOES NOT go to Keller or our students. It goes directly to Givebacks. Please skip the tip to make sure donations reach our students!
Promote our fundraiser by sharing your child’s fundraising website through email and social media. Donors can also text “huskiesrun2025” to (919) 626-3277.
Check the website to track your student’s donations and see where their class stands!
EVENT DETAILS:
Date: Friday, October 3, 2025, during the school day

INDIVIDUAL GOAL
All students are encouraged to reach their individual donation goal of $50.00. Students who meet their $50 goal will be entered into a school-wide raffle to win lunch with a Keller staff member.
CLASSROOM GOAL REWARDS:
• Every class that gets 100% registration will earn an extra recess.
• Every class that raises $1,000 or more will earn a popsicle party.
• The students in the top fundraising class will win a trophy to keep in their classroom and bragging rights.
• The top earning grade will earn new recess toys for their classrooms.
SCHOOL GOAL REWARDS:
If we reach our overall school goal of $20,000, Principal Dryden will be turned into a principal sundae!
She will be covered with whipped cream, sprinkles and a cherry on top. For every $500 raised over our goal, we will draw an additional staff member to join in on the staff sundae fun!!
PLEASE HAVE YOUR CHILD WEAR THEIR KELLER SHIRT TO SCHOOL THE DAY OF THE RUN.
The Huskies Run will be held in the large field next to the playground (northwest of the school). If you are unable to volunteer but still want to attend, please come to cheer on your student(s).
Mrs. Dryden expects students to return to class after the run. Students should not be signed out unless it is an emergency.
*** IF there is inclement weather, the run will be in the gym and unfortunately, we will not have enough space for spectators.
