Last year was the very first Race for Education fund raising by the St. Joseph, the school where my kids goes. It's a great effort and collaboration of the school and parents especially the one who were in the committee. They held the second Race for education this year on April 22nd.
I want to thank all of friends and family who sponsored our kids to participate in the event. You guys helped greatly in achieving the success of this fund raising.
Last year's mascot is from Wildthing but this year, it was from Mr. Rooter , the company is is also made a huge contribution/donation to the event.
Our neighbor Don came and participated as well. HIm and his wife were some of the people who sposored our kids.
I hope that the next time they do this kind of event that it would be outdoors. I think it would be more fun than just walking/running inside the gymnassium.
The Race for Education was a wonderful event, it raises awareness for a healthy lifestyle and it helps the school to get extra funds. This showcased the camaraderie between the school and the parents/family of every students. The students learned the value of supporting this kind of event to help the school.
The total contribution from donors this year is $28,799.80. IT exceeded the amount collected last year. So after deducting all the expenses, the school had a total net of $25,114.70. This would help to maintain the low tuition of the school and to carry out some of the projects that the school is planning to do for the benefit of the students. As private school doesn't get full funding from the governement, we have to be creative on how to support our school so they would continue to provide quality education without charging too much for tuition fees. This was a great collaboration between the school and the family of students. Again, a huge thank you for all the donors for your continued support to the school. Without you, this would not be possible.
This activity prved to be a great way for health and wellness not only for the students and the faculty but also to the family. What a way to burn calories with your friends.
