From the Organizer
Join us for the Grounded in Community – Coffee Run/Walk 5K, a fun, family-friendly event centered around investing in our children and our community. Proceeds from the event will help fund the development of the Appleby Lookout, a new community gathering and outdoor learning space at Westby Elementary School. The Appleby Lookout will provide a welcoming place for students, families, and community members to gather, learn, explore, and connect. This project is being developed through collaboration between Westby Elementary School, IMPACT (Interested and Motivated Parents and Community Together), and community partners who believe in creating meaningful spaces for our children to learn and our community to come together. Whether you’re running for a personal best, walking with friends and family, or simply coming out to enjoy a cup of coffee and support a great cause, we invite you to be part of the day.
