The Exeter Elementary PTO is hosting its 28th Annual Get Fit in May on Saturday, May 16, 2026 The event includes a 5K run/fitness walk, plus ½ mile and 1 mile fun runs for the kids. Please see event website at www.getfitinmay.com for race day schedule - fun runs kick off at 8:30 and the 5K at 9:30)! This wonderful community event has become a vital fundraiser for the Exeter Elementary PTO. Proceeds from the road race provide funding for school programs and initiatives not included in the school budget including: classroom technology, field trip transportation, staff appreciation events, teacher supplies, music & art enrichment, student council, playground equipment, and more. These educational opportunities enhance the classroom and school experience for all our children! TEAM COMPETITION For the student 5K and fun runs, you will be asked to identify your child's grade if they are a MSS/LSS student. The grade with the most student registrants will win a special prize after race day! SENIOR
