My Project

On May 17th, MLMS will be hosting a Color Run for Lower Elementary, Upper Elementary and Adolescent students! We would love to have a cool off station with sprinklers/hoses for students to cool off after the race. Charleston temperatures average in the high 80's this time of year and we know our runners will be giving it their all! In an effort to prevent overheating and keep our runners cool, please consider donating to this DonorsChoose project to give our students the "coolest" fun run possible! Items purchased with this project will be able to be used for other warm weather school events as well.

Grades 3-5
