Ruckel Middle School is gearing up for its First Annual Ruckel RAM JAM Color Run, set to take place on Tuesday, April 23 from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm. 

• The event aims to raise funds for upgrading and enhancing student engagement through technology in the school’s classrooms, with a goal of equipping every classroom with a SMART Board interactive whiteboard.

A color run is a fun and engaging event where participants run or walk a designated course while being showered with colored powder at various stations along the route.

The event will kick off at 5:00 PM with food trucks, concessions, a DJ, and more. The main attraction, a 5K fun run, will begin at 6:00 PM. Students, parents, siblings, friends, and community members are all invited to participate in the color run event.

Registration for the event is now open, with a fee of $20 for students and $25 for friends and family. Participants who register and meet the initial donation/pledge goal by April 14 will receive a color run T-shirt. Fundraising will remain open through the date of the fun run on April 23.
