Q300 Green & Wellness Day was originally scheduled for May 9, 2026 and then re-scheduled to the same day as the Yard Sale because of weather. It’s the school’s 3rd annual sustainability and fitness event and is a free family event with hands-on, inquiry-based activity stations and physical challenges.
