BIG BLUE BULLET BLITZ

Hello Families and Students! We are delighted that you are a part of our Knoxville Schools Family.
Here are just a few words about our main PTO-Sponsored School fundraiser…

Say goodbye to selling gift wrap, popcorn, candy, and cheese & sausage and
HELLO BIG BLUE BULLET BLITZ!

What is the BIG BLUE BULLET BLITZ? Our MINI-BLITZ will be a fun-filled morning planned for all students on the morning of Friday, Sept. 14th which includes various activities, treats and excitement. Our students collect pledges (per lap) or flat donations and will spend approximately 30 minutes walking, jogging or running around our track. In addition, we will host a **Big Blue Bullet Blitz 5k/1mile Fun Run on the morning of Saturday, Sept. 15th **!

**This will be our 4th annual event and is a one-of-a-kind event for the area! Walkers and runners will get BLITZED with COLOR throughout their run!!
We will also enjoy a COLOR-FILLED post race celebration.
We are excited to invite Knoxville and its surrounding communities to join us in the fun in an effort to fundraise for Mable Woolsey Elementary School!**
