It’s that time of year again! The St. Paul Walkathon is back! Despite this year being very different, the community rallied together to find a new, awesome way to keep up a classic tradition. On Thursday, October 1st, the Student Government joined together (from apart) to kick off this year’s festivities. From neighborhoods, cross country practices, and parks, students signed onto Zoom at 5PM to walk the first few steps of the 2020 Walkathon. Unlike past years, all fundraising was held online. The school was able to raise their goal, a collective total of $30,000 and earned the annual “Superbowl Monday” off! Mrs. McGuire is very excited! Similar to the past, students were able to participate in activities like KanJam and Ultimate Frisbee. Each grade worked together to plan a fun, safe day, but unfortunately with COVID-19 regulations, students were not able to intermingle with other grades. This year included a special surprise: Dairy Queen Blizzards! Many students felt that despite this year’s hurdles, this was one of the very best Walkathons ever. Comments are closed.
