Here's What Our Teachers Have To Say About The Walk-A-Thon!
- It started with field trips, then Chrome books, then air conditioning and Promethean boards...the money the Walk-A-Thon has raised has changed the way I teach and the way my students learn."
- "Walk-A-Thon is a great way to increase support and help for our Athletic teams. Transportation to games, uniforms, facilities are all contributed through donations for Walk-A-Thon."
- "Walk-A-Thon is an event that not only provides us with the curriculum materials and supplies that we need to teach, but it allows the preschool kids to feel like they are doing the same as the big kids and it makes them feel proud."
- "My classroom really benefits from the Walk-A-Thon donations. Many things in my classroom have been purchased with money from these donations. Past years donations have allowed our school to purchase the technology for our school, items like ipads, and chromebooks for each student. As well as online subscriptions that we use in class, IXL, Spelling Stars, and Schoology."
- "The Walk-A-Thon shows our students the power of community and service when they see friends, families, parishioners, and community members coming together in support of our school and Catholic education. They get to witness first hand the impact that the donations have on them as a student with field trips, technology, classroom supplies, and so much more."
