Jog-a-Thon is a Huge Success
Thank you to everyone who participated in our annual Jog-a-Thon on Friday. The students had a great time, the volunteers were amazing and more than $14,000 was pledged in the process.
Congratulations to Mrs. Bush's first grade class and Ms. Smith's seventh grade class for having the most money pledged (K-4 & 5-8). Those classes win a Kettle Korn and Movie party. Eligible students should have received their Presutti's sub and Panera kids meal coupons from their teachers. The Jeans Days for eligible students will be on Nov. 21 and 22. Teachers will have a list of eligible students in their classroom.
Thank you for your continued support of St. Anastasia Catholic School.
