Exciting Jog-a-thon Results and Thank You
Thank you so much to the students and volunteers who helped make the Jog-a-thon a great success again this year! You raised $23,000 for Shoreline Christian this year! This brings us to $50,000 away from our total fundraising goal of 350,000 for the year.

Our top student fundraiser this year was Jaden, followed by Kaylee. Our top runner was Yousef with 44 laps, followed by a three way tie for second with 43 laps between Kaylee, Marijka, and Rose. Second grade raised the most money as a class. Prizes will be distributed asap.

Thank you again to everyone for your support and hard work!
