About:
Setauket Elementary School recently sponsored its first Color Splash Run/Walk in honor of one of Setauket’s students, Amelia Calderone, who is suffering from Langerhans cell histiocytosis, an illness that causes the production of too many white blood cells and causes the formation of tumors.
Approximately 600 students, parents and staff members registered for the event. Despite the rain, the majority of registrants turned out for dancing, color-splashing and a one-mile trek in honor of this very special student. The race went from Setauket School through Frank Melville Park and back to the school and raised over $6,800 for the Calderone family.
