Thank You for an Incredible Walkathon! 🎉

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this year’s Walkathon — it was a joyful, high-energy afternoon filled with laughter, color-dabbed smiles, snacks, and games. It was wonderful to see our community come together in support of our school.

Thanks to your generosity, the Walkathon raised over $46,000, bringing our total for Giving Month + Walkathon to $166,000 — just 17% shy of our $200K annual goal.

💡 There’s still time to help us close the gap! You can return to the Walkathon registration page to make a donation for your student. Any contribution of $100 or more qualifies your student for prizes, which can be selected by the end of today from the Prize Store!
