St. Joseph School Race for Education

🏃‍♂️ Race for Education Event Details

This past year has been a year like no other and we have been blessed to offer both in-person and virtual instruction all school year to our students. Our Race for Education fundraiser, which is typically our largest school fundraiser, will be a little different this year. To streamline two fundraisers, Race for Education as well as the annual HASA 5K, we are hosting both events as one overall event to support St. Joseph School.

In recent years, Race for Education supported many new initiatives on the school campus including building the new playground, creating a Multimedia Center, and upgrading the security system on campus. This year, we are excited to begin raising money to renovate our school gymnasium.

🏅 What is Race for Education?

This has been a long-standing tradition at SJS and each year it is one of our biggest fundraisers. Students raise money for the school while running laps on campus. This year all of the proceeds will go towards renovating the gymnasium.

👦👧 Who?

• Registration: We are asking that ALL students register to join the race!
• Waiver Code: Each child will be given a waiver code for a free race entry.
• Donation Link: Once registered, students will receive a link to share via email on social media with friends and family to collect donations for their child’s team.
• Registration Page: Each student will need to create a registration page as it will assist with prizes.

👩‍🏫 Parents - Virtually Join the Race!

Unfortunately, no parent volunteers can help this year, but you can join the 5K race virtually for a great cause. During the time period of May 14-May 23, parents can run the virtual 5K or the Mile Run and the registration fee is donated back to SJS. Please keep an eye out for a pre-race email which will include how to report your results, share photos, etc.

📍 Where?

Students will participate in the fun run around the pathway surrounding the new cemetery on their selected day during their PE class.
