Lanier MS students are organizing a food drive as part of a project to help our community. Drop off canned goods and non-perishable food items at Roberts Elementary School Feb. 3–6 or donate to support the Houston Food Bank.

The Fun Run is a two-week program that engages students in raising funds for our school, culminating in a fun and exciting run on Feb. 13. Students will receive daily prizes for reaching their fundraising goals, which keeps the excitement high and the motivation strong. Proceeds from this year’s Fun Run will:

• Support a comprehensive outdoor refresh, including updated lighting and storage, to create a more inviting and functional space for our students.
• Fund the PTO budget, which supports essential programs like our IB curriculum dues, community nights, and field trips, and provides for facility improvements, such as enhancing the computer room and addressing maintenance needs.

Registration is open now! Visit FunRun.com and search for Roberts Elementary, or use code 418-297 to sign up.

Your participation and support directly impact our school community, and we can’t thank you enough!

February 15 is race day for the Run of Pi, but registration is still open! Houston Engineers Week hosts this annual 1K/5K/10K fun run, and we encourage runners to participate every year.

Please note that this is not a drop-off event, as a parent must be present on the racecourse.
