Rock-the-Walk 2017
400 duckies, 300 guitars, 200 bears, over 8,000 laps walked…and more than $38,000 raised so far!
Man, that was a fun Walkathon!!! Everyone got into the spirit…some more than others! Mr. Izor, the teachers, parents and kids…showed up in their rocker best…or showed their Grizzly spirit…and made it super exciting for all. We’re also excited to watch our teachers perform their own ROCK CONCERT…since we reached our goal!
Many thanks to all the volunteers, teachers and students who made this event possible! Special thanks goes to Mr. Izor and Mindy Carpenter for ROCKING IT!!
A very special shout out to SCHOOL OF ROCK for their contributions, and for keeping us jamming all day!!
Many of the students are enjoying their prizes already…with more to come! It’s not too late to get in on the fun. Pledges are being accepted until April 30th!
