Jog-A-Thon
Held annually on the beautiful St. Raphael campus field, our students show off their athletic ability by running, jogging, skipping and walking as many laps as they comfortably can during the allotted time frame. Students “perform” laps and compete for fabulous prizes (up to 100 prizes) amongst each other and between classes. All participants are winners and are treated to a special lunch and dessert after the event. The top six fundraising students have an opportunity to win the grand prizes, ranging from I-Pods, cash, bikes, etc.
There are two ways sponsors (family and friends) can pledge a donation. They can either pledge a per “lap” amount or they can pledge a flat amount. Either way is welcome and sincerely appreciated. The donation can be collected at time of the pledge or after the Jog-A-Thon.
This great event has something for everyone: Our students show off their athletic ability and have a lot of fun with their fundraising efforts and, in addition, our parents can earn volunteer service hours. We hope you can be there to volunteer & cheer your children on.
This year’s Jog-A-Thon will be held on May 6th, see you on the track!
St. Raphael School was founded when God answered a Daughter of Charity’s prayer. To this day, our mission is consistent with that of our founding Sisters: to educate all children in preschool through eighth grade in mind, body and spirit by imparting the values of Jesus through a rigorous curriculum, devoted faculty and an actively involved parent community.
