Color Run


The Color Run is just around the corner in the early evening on Thursday, May 18th. This will be our 5th annual Electa Quinney Color Run! Sign-up to participate in the actual walk/run will be coming via email soon!

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!

MAY Focus = CREATIVITY



PurposeFull Pursuit:

Create a space where your family can see emotion words or faces in 1 place near an entrance of a room (like the kitchen or the living room). Each time someone walks through the entrance this week (or longer!), have them share the emotion they are feeling in a Creative way. You could point, dance, stare, do charades, etc.


Emotion Elements & Emotion Words: [Air] represents emotions like nervous, distracted, inspired, or anxious. We use the character [Water] to represent emotions like sad, lonely, tired, or embarrassed. [Fire] represents emotions like anger, frustration, excitement, or fear. [Earth] represents emotions like comfortable, relaxed, motivated, or loving.


Conversation Starters:

  • Can you share with me a time when you were able to use Creativity to solve a problem recently? How were you feeling?
  • Why do you think it is important to share how we feel to others?

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

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 ___.
