The sixth grade would like to thank everyone who participated in the Walk-a-Thon.  Together, with your help, we met our fundraising goal of $18,000 for St. Cletus School!

       Congratulations to the fourth grade, who exceeded their fundraising goal by 10%, earning a pizza party for their grade.  Ten different classrooms met or exceeded their goals, including Mrs. Walton's preschool class; Mrs. Bentley's kindergarten class; Mrs. Schaefer's first grade class; Mrs. Barber's second grade class; Mrs. Reckwerdt's third grade class; Miss Thomas' third grade class; Ms. Kasl's fourth grade class; Ms. Lewandowski's fourth grade class; Ms. McNamara's sixth grade class; and Mrs. Rotunno's eighth grade class.  Two classrooms--Mrs. Barber's second grade class and Mrs. Schaefer's first grade class--also won participation awards for having 100% of their students raise money in the Walk-a-Thon.  These students earned pizza parties, dress down days, and gym shoe days for their classrooms. 

       But that's not all.  Over 40 students won individual raffle prizes, including Maddy Cranny, who took home four 200-level Blackhawks tickets for a game this November, and Neil Doherty, who won a Kindle Fire.  A complete list of raffle prize winners is posted on-line on the Walk-a-Thon web page at Walk-a-Thon Results. 

       Again, thank you to all the families who participated in the Walk-a-Thon.
