Jog-A-Thon Raises $6400

Thank you to students and all our volunteers who made our Jog-A-Thon so successful.  Also thank you to Smith Fine Arts, Dr. Jeff Phillips, Costco, Safeway and Best Buy for their generous donations. 

As a school, we ran 384 miles and raised $6400!  Top lap runners and top money raisers earned a Hummer limo ride to have pizza at a local park.
