St. Margaret’s kindergarten classrooms launched its 2nd annual Lower School Watercolor Run last week, an event led by the kindergarten classes as part of their curriculum focus on Global Goal No. 3: Good Health and Wellbeing.

Held on Chalmers Field, the run brought together students from across the Lower School to celebrate health, camaraderie, and community. Students and teachers ran laps around the field, cheered on by St. Margaret’s community of students, teachers and parents, while being sprayed with bursts of vibrant color representing each of the school’s four House Leagues.

The colors symbolized the spirit of each House but also served as a unifying emblem—reminding all participants that together, they are one Tartan community.

Parents and families participated by dressing in their children’s House League colors and were led in House chants by Lower School music teacher Zach Hanna. The entire Lower School community enjoyed popsicles after the run. 

The Lower School extends a huge thank you to kindergarten teachers Mara Balak, Gabriela Lopez and Jessica Banks; and personal fitness and wellness teachers Jennifer Cuda and Adam Doty for the year-long effort in planning for and producing the Watercolor Run.
