Combs Students, Faculty, Families and Friends

The Wake County PTA Council has announced its second Annual Wake County PTA Healthy Lifestyles 5K Run/Walk, on Sunday, November 22 at 3:30 pm on NC States Centennial Campus.

Anyone can participate in the 5K on November 23rd, but to be eligible for prizes and for our school to get credit for participating, runners or walkers are encouraged to register. Last year we had the highest participation and won a $500 grant toward Health and Wellness at our school! Additionally, there were several teachers that won prizes in their age category! We are aiming for that again this year!!

The last day of early bird registration is this Sunday, November 8th for a fee of $20. You can register after that, however you aren't guaranteed a t-shirt and the fee increases to $25.

The 5K is for Wake County individuals and families, regardless of skill or experience level. There are race prizes in age categories: 10 and under, 11-13,14-19, 20-29, 30- 39, 40-49, 50-59, and 60 +. To register, visit www.PTA5K.org . When registering for this race, please indicate that you are affiliated with Combs Elementary School, as the elementary school with the highest number of registered participants will receive money to be used towards Healthy Lifestyles programming at their school. Let's show our Combs spirit by wearing our Combs spirit wear on the day of the event. You can register online, or print a mail-in registration form. Registered race participants and volunteers receive a goody bag on the day of the race and if they register by early bird registration, November 8, participants also are guaranteed to receive a race t-shirt on race day.

The Health and Safety Committee at Combs will be rewarding the class in each grade level with a healthy dessert party!

Please join us and show your Combs spirit while promoting a healthy lifestyle! Feel free to join our Wonderful Wednesday Walking Club, Nov 4th and Nov 11th from 2:30-3:30 for additional training! We are so excited to be part of this second annual event! Again, to register, visit www.PTA5K.org
