Walk-a-thon Helps Raise Funds

Thursday, December 01, 2011

The students at St. Joseph School, Cottleville participated in the 4th annual "Walk This Way" walk-a-thon on Friday, October 7.  The event helped raise money for our new Mac computers and other school improvements.

To help raise funds, students solicited sponsors to pledge a tax-deductible contribution based on the number of laps completed by the students or a flat donation.  The students walked around the south lot and the soccer field for an hour.  Priests, teachers, school administrators and parent volunteers helped encourage the students and also participated in the walk.

This event raised nearly $50,000 and was a wonderful community building event for St. Joseph School.
