11th Annual Cubcat CRAWL - Monster Dash

To benefit Hendersonville Elementary School on Friday, October 13th!

Each year, Cubcats Run And Walk for Learning to raise money for our school. The CRAWL is a fun, family-friendly 1.5- or 3-mile race hosted by the Hendersonville Elementary PTO, with proceeds going to help achieve the financial goals we have set, as approved by Principal Kim Henderson, for the 2023-24 school year. These goals include a significant investment in the Literacy Support Program, purchase of touch boards for classrooms, STEM school support, educational science and reading subscriptions for all K-5 students, teacher allotments for each teacher to purchase basic supplies for their classrooms, breakfast and snacks for all students taking EOG tests, an end of the year celebration for our students, and more.

The CRAWL is not just a race. It is a fun, Halloween activity for the whole family. This year, we'll have Bounce Runs, Trick or Treat area, Costume Contest, and a Dance Party with a live DJ. Join us for Community Partners, Retail Vendors, a Teacher of the Day Raffle, and Concessions for Purchase. Plus, we'll have lots of STEM Activities like the Henderson County Sheriff's Tactical Robot and an Infrared Device & Fire Truck from the Hendersonville Fire Department
