Here's What Our Parents Have To Say About The Walk-A-Thon!
- "The Walk-A-Thon is such an essential event for OLVCS. It has a significant impact on the school! The safety upgrades have been especially important to our family. I can't say enough great things about OLV. We love the service-oriented, value-based education along with the strong academic foundation they're building. MOST importantly, OLV is teaching them what it looks like to be good people who care about others and the world around them."
- "I love the Walk-A-Thon day for my children, for all of the ways the funds support our school, especially to make it a safe school and teaching the children the values of service, love, faith, dignity, and integrity as well as working together as a Catholic community!"
- "The Walk-A-Thon helps OLVCS to thrive, and in today's culture, having a thriving Catholic School is imperative for instilling Christian values in our children. The Walk-A-Thon is a fun way to raise money to help with specific school needs, such as field trips, technology needs, and athletics."
- The Walk-A-Thon is a great way for the students to come together as a whole. The outpouring of support from the community and families helps to benefit our faith based school in so many ways."
- "The funds from Walk-A-Thon impact our children in so many ways from technology, classroom supplies, field trips, athletics, co-curricular activities, and safety and security enhancements. Our children also get to witness the impact that a faith community can have as the Walk-A-Thon is supported by their friends, families, fellow parishioners, and local businesses."
