Color Up Stoneville Walk/Run

Stoneville Elementary PTO, in partnership with the Town of Stoneville, is excited to present Color Up Stoneville, a fun-filled walk/run event on Saturday, March 28th! This colorful community celebration is open to all students, families, and community members.

Participants will make their way through multiple color stations where volunteers toss safe, vibrant powder, creating a joyful and energetic experience for all ages. The event is all about having fun, getting messy, and supporting our Stoneville school community.

To ensure everyone can participate, Color Up Stoneville will include an Inclusive Wave, designed to be welcoming and accessible for all participants, including those with disabilities.
