Thank you to all of the students, parents, and benefactors who made the 2013 Walk-A-Thon as smashing success!

Who would have predicted that we would surpass last year's Walk-A-Thon pledges by almost $8,000? Well that is precisely what happened! Students raised over $17,500 in pledges for the school, and donations are still coming in online. We can't say thank you enough to all of the students and families who worked so hard to make this happen! This is a wonderfully blessed and Spirit filled school community. Praise Jesus!

On Friday March 15th, we will be sending out an email with the grand total raised for the second annual Walk-a-thon!

Please take the opportunity this weekend to reach out to friends or family members with an email or phone call! If every MRA student reaches out and secures 3 additional sponsors, we will be sure to exceed our fundraising goal!

100% of the money raised goes toward your Family Fundraising commitment for this year!

Sponsors may send their donation via online through the following link:
