Color Run


Save the date on your calendar - Our end of the year celebratory Color Run event will be held in the early evening on Thursday, May 18th. This will be our 5th annual Electa Quinney Color Run!
This year the color run will be in the evening for both students and families to participate. The run/walk will take place around Electa Quinney School (typically a 1.5 mi format). Participants will be showered with colored powder, made of food-grade corn starch, at color stations along the route. We refrain from booklet sale fundraisers and use this as our main fundraiser; beyond the cost of materials and the event, the remainder goes to benefit the students supporting end of the year activities and future events such as teacher classroom materials, student birthday books, speakers, field trips and assemblies, family/community events, and more.

Help us meet out goal and win fun incentives on the way!

Order your Quinney Color Run Shirt


T-shirt sales for the Color Run this year are optional.  Students and families can wear any white shirt, a past Color Run shirt, or realistically ANY shirt.  We have decided since this is a family evening event we will not order for all students.  Due to the way we are running the event this year we cannot collect orders and hand out at the event, so there is a small window to order via Eagle Graphics for any interested staff, students, family or friends.  This will go out in the kick-off email sent to families on April 25th.   
T-shirt Store Deadline: April 30th at 11:59pm

Summer School Registration - NOW OPEN UNTIL MAY 19th AT NOON!

MAY Focus = CREATIVITY



Creativity Newsletter:
We can sometimes find ourselves in situations that require us to solve problems or create something new. In those situations, we can feel stuck or unable to get started. Practicing Creativity can help us develop tools that allow us to use our imagination to get moving. This month's focus is on using Creativity to support emotion advocacy.

Conversation Starters:
  • How can being Creative help you to solve problems?
  • Can you explain what I-Statements are and how you can use them? I feel__when__. I would like ___.

Community Events and Activity Flyers

There are a great many worthy undertakings in the Kaukauna Area School District that understandably deserve public support. The Board of Education/School District assist with this process in providing notice to students and/or families of certain non-school-related community activities/programs that are for public school-age students (that apply and meet policy conditions). Click here or visit the school district website to view the up to date list of events and flyers
