Pre-K Hop-a-Thon Raises Money For the MDA

/in /by

Congratulations to all our Pre-Kindergarten Students (and thank you to their families) for helping us raise over $660.00 to donate to the Muscular Dystrophy Association in our annual Pre-K MDA Hop-A-Thon.  The Hop-A-Thon is part of a whole educational program that teaches our children the three core values — awareness, acceptance, and assistance — for those with special needs at an age-appropriate (preschool) level.  The money raised from our Hop-A-Thon will go towards research of over 40 forms of muscle diseases and health support services for those in need.  Below are a few pictures of our students with the “Hop” cards (click to enlarge):
