Hi Panther Lake families,

I’m thrilled to announce that our Panther Fun Run kicks off on November 9! This is an amazing opportunity to support our school and help us raise funds for continuing to enhance our outdoor spaces - and get closer to making a walking path a reality!

We’re excited to see our students, staff, and families come together to make this a success. Every bit of participation matters whether you’re donating, sharing, or volunteering! It all starts at MyBooster.com where you can connect with friends and family from all over the world to help us reach our goal of $25,000.

And here’s the best part: if we hit our goal, we’ll have a school-wide dance party. I know we can do it! Thank you for supporting Panther Lake and helping us create incredible opportunities for our students. Let’s make this Panther Fun Run unforgettable!

Christine A. Szymanski Ed. D.
