Teller’s Annual Fun Run

Join us this Friday, March 3rd for our annual Fun Run! Fun Run spectators will check-in the double gate on the blacktop (Jackson St.) to obtain a visitor’s badge. All other gates will be locked during the Fun Run. Spectators are encouraged to cheer on all students during the Fun Run from the blacktop. Please stay off the track and field so we can ensure our students have plenty of room to run. Fun Run schedule is below:
