See You at (and on!) the Finish Line
|
|
Our Steps 4 Students Finish Line Banner has made its debut in the gym! Everyone who registers is not only awarded their very own pink signature Team SCM t-shirt but also a pink shoe on the finish line banner. The children love seeing their names on the gym wall, and Coach Lewis has been working with them in each PE class to help them prepare for race day (Saturday, February 15, 2020).
Our students are excited and motivated to do their best, so be sure to
register
your family for Steps 4 Students today!
If you can’t make it on the 15th, register as a “Snoozer.”
The annual Steps 4 Students 5K Run/Walk is one of the most fun and interactive fundraisers around. Proceeds support the SCM Tuition Assistance Program, which provides tuition aid directly to St. Catherine’s families.
Last year, we raised $9,618 with Steps 4 Students which – combined with funds from our operating budget, individual giving, and other fundraising events – helped provide tuition assistance for 27 St. Catherine's families for the 2019-2020 school year.
Help us exceed last year’s total so we can increase our impact on SCM families by registering for Steps 4 Students, and by asking friends and family members to support you on race day with a donation.
