Colour run fun for Ryder - best fundraiser in his year two class
Ryder Rintoule raised the most in his class for school fundraiser
According to eight-year-old Ryder Rintoule, the best part about the last school day before the holidays is less work and much more fun.
Horsham West Primary held a Colour Run Fun Day on Friday, September, to raise funds for new netball courts and the school courtyard.
Ryder raised $700 for the project and came first in his year-two class. Most of the money Ryder raised was through friends and family on Facebook
Ryder was given extraordinary access to the VIP Tent at the school event because he raised the most money in his class and came fourth overall in the school.
"I was able to go into the VIP tent, and I got a slushie, some popcorn, a biscuit, and a bracelet," he said.
The school organised other activities for the students, including tug-of-way and sprouts.
"We ran nine to ten laps of the oval and we were sprayed with coloured powder and water,
"We had a lot of cleaning up to do after the run," Ryder said.
Ryder said he might put his shirt in a picture frame to hang on his room at home.
