Notre Dame's annual Walk-a-thon will take place on Friday, October 23. Letters and pledge sheets were mailed home to all school families this week. Please click here to view this information.

The ND Walk-a-thon is our only student-driven fundraiser of the year.  This year students will have the opportunity to designate to what school initiative they want their donation to be applied: Campus Ministry, Athletics, Technology.

We are asking each student to raise $100 in sponsorships and our goal is to raise $30,000.  Raising $100 is as simple as getting 10 sponsors to donate $10 or 20 sponsors to donate $5. Ask your friends, family, local businesses, etc.  We have a number of great incentives for all participants.

The day of the Walk-a-thon, our students will walk a three mile course around our campus followed by our annual "Class Wars" competition.  Classes will compete against one another for class bragging rights.  Class t'shirts are available for sale from Monday, October 5 through Friday, October 9. We hope all students will show their class spirit by purchasing a t'shirt.  The order form is available in the main office, Mrs. Marzik's office or by clicking on this link.

If you have any questions, please contact Theresa Marzik at tmarzik@notredame.org. And don't forget...Let's Talk the Walk!!!
