St. Joseph School Race for Education

St. Joseph School Race for Education Race Information

<h4><b>Race for Education Event Details</b></h4> <p>This past year has been a year like no other and we have been blessed to offer both in-person and<br />virtual instruction all school year to our students. Our Race for Education fundraiser, which is typically<br />our largest school fundraiser, will be a little different this year. To streamline two fundraisers, Race for<br />Education as well as the annual HASA 5K, we are hosting both events as one overall event to<br />support <a href="https://www.stjoeschool.org/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">St. Joseph School</a>.<br /><br />In recent years, Race for Education supported many new initiatives on the school campus including<br />building the new playground, creating a Multimedia Center, and upgrading the security system on<br />campus. <b>This year, we are excited to begin raising money to renovate our school gymnasium.</b></p> <h5><b>What is Race for Education?</b></h5> <p>This has been a long-standing tradition at SJS and each year it is one of our biggest fundraisers.<br />Students raise money for the school while running laps on campus. This year all of the proceeds will<br />go towards renovating the gymnasium.</p> <h5><b>Who?</b></h5> <p>We are asking that ALL students register to join the race! Each child will be given a waiver code for a<br />free race entry. Once registered, students will receive a link to share via email on social media with<br />friends and family to collect donations for their child’s team. Each student will need to create a<br />registration page as it will assist with prizes.</p> <h5><b>Parents - Virtually Join the Race!</b></h5> <p>Unfortunately, no parent volunteers can help this year, but you can join the 5K race virtually for a<br />great cause. During the time period of May 14-May 23, parents can run the virtual 5K or the Mile Run<br />and the registration fee is donated back to SJS. Please keep an eye out for pre-race email which will <br />include how to report your results, share photos, etc.</p> <h5><b>Where?</b></h5> <p>Students will participate in the fun run around the pathway surrounding the new cemetery on their<br />selected day during their PE class.</p> <h5><b>When?</b></h5> <p>Saturday, November 15, 2025</p> <h5><b>Why Donate?</b></h5> <p>This event is a way for friends and family to play a part in your child’s Catholic education. SJS has<br />successfully offered in-person learning since August. Now is the time to show how much you have<br />appreciated SJS and all that this school community continues to offer.</p> <h5><b>What’s in it for you?</b></h5> <p>● Every student that creates a registration page will be eligible for an out of uniform day on<br />Friday, May 21.<br />● Any student that collects over $250 in donations will be added to a drawing to win a prize.<br />● Any student that collects over $500 in donations will be added to a drawing to win a prize.<br />● Any student that collects over $1,000 will be added to a drawing to win a prize.<br />● All students will benefit from our Gymnasium renovation!<br /><br /><b>Let’s work together to make this the best Race for Education yet!</b></p>
