Thanks for visiting our fundraising page for the 3rd Annual Saint Joseph School 5K!
On May 19th, we will be running a one mile race at Lake Quannapowitt in Wakefield, MA to benefit Saint Joseph School.
Saint Joseph School is a wonderful school in Wakefield, MA committed to producing graduates with the character, integrity, knowledge and skills necessary for high achievement in secondary school. At Saint Joseph School, the instruction is purposeful, engaging, and relevant. A culture of positive relationship building and personalization within the school and the parish community encourages and supports self-reliance and problem-solving for success.
This more than 90-year-old tradition of academic excellence could not continue without adequate financial support. As a Catholic elementary school, Saint Joseph School relies heavily on private support. The 3rd Annual Saint Joseph School 5K is a core fundraising event for our community and an expression of the parish and community’s support of our school.
Year after year, the generosity of alumni, parents, parishioners and friends has helped Saint Joseph School become what it is today, and will help Saint Joseph School continue to meet the intellectual, physical, social and spiritual needs of its students.
We are so excited to run in support of this school community, and we hope you can make a donation to help me reach my fundraising goal and support Saint Joseph School. All contributions are tax deductible.
Please check out the Saint Joseph School website to get a glimpse at this wonderful school community: http://www.stjosephschoolwakefield.org. Also, please join us if you can on May 19 for the event itself - it will be a fun filled family day.
Thank you so much for your support!
Love.
