WALK-A-THON TALLY
Thanks to all that participated
this year and gave so
generously. We auctioned off
those two reserved parking
spots, raising over $500.
So far, we have raised about
$12,000 in total,
short of our $17,000 goal by
$5,000.
ONLY 40% of our student body
have turned in their pledge
money. You can still turn in
walk-a-thon donations! Send to
school with your student.
