We are excited to launch "Saints on the Run"— the First Annual St. Ann School Jog-a-Thon — a joyful, active fundraiser for students from Preschool (Little Branches) through 8th grade. On Monday, September 29, 2025, from 1:00–3:00 p.m., our students will come together to move their bodies, build school spirit, and raise funds for a great cause: renovating our gym and purchasing new equipment for physical education. Our fundraising goal is $10,000 — and with your help, we can get there.
This event was all about movement, fun, and community. Whether students choose to walk, jog, run, skip, or dance, every step counts. Read the full event recap here!
All students will run laps with their classmates to music provided by a DJ, with cheers and support from family and friends.
Little Branches Preschool through 1st Grade will run loops in the school parking lot.
2nd through 8th Grade will run a larger loop around the school, Nazareth House, and church buildings.
Middle School Bonus: Color Blast
To celebrate their final laps, middle school students will run through a fun color blast station — a burst of color to wrap up their run in style.
Event Features
Sweatband Craft Station – Personalize your own sweatband before the run.
Food & Drink Tables – Snacks and refreshments to keep our runners fueled.
Cheering Sections – Families are encouraged to make and bring support signs to cheer on our students.
Prizes
For the grade level that runs the most total laps
For individual top lap runners in each grade
For the classroom that raises the most money in pledges
Rain Plan
In the event of rain, Saints On The Run will be rescheduled for Wednesday, October 1, 2025.
How Pledges Work
Sponsors (family, friends, neighbors, businesses) can support student runners in one of two ways:
Flat Donation – A one-time donation, no matter how many laps the student runs.
Per-Lap Pledge – Sponsors can buy individual laps for $10 each. Money is collected online via Clickbid or by check. All checks should be made payable to “St. Ann School” with a memo “Jog-A-Thon” and may be dropped off in the school office.
Why We're Running
All proceeds from Saints On The Run Jog-a-Thon will go directly toward renovating our school gym and purchasing new equipment for physical education. These improvements will help support the health and well-being of every St. Ann student, today and in the years to come.
At St. Ann School, we believe in nurturing the whole child — mind, body, and spirit. As we run together in community, we are reminded of 1 Corinthians 9:24: “Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.” Through movement, teamwork, and generosity, our students grow not only in strength but also in character and faith.
Thank you for helping us build a stronger, healthier, and more joyful St. Ann community — one step at a time.
