When are pledges due? Pledges are due on May 6th. Students call their sponsors after they've completed the run and share with them how many laps they ran.

To get involved contact Yvonne Faulkner at yfaulkner(at)yahoo.com.
Why does the money go to Partners In Education (PIE)? Partners in Education exists to enrich the experience of students by seeking resources (such as funds, materials, and services), and by directing the use of such resources toward educationally focused goals that further the interest of students, parents and the community. Donating the money to PIE ensures the money stays at our school to benefit our children.
