On Monday, September 29, 2025, students from Preschool through 8th grade participated in our First Annual Jog-a-Thon, “Saints on the Run.” We came together to move, celebrate community and school spirit, and raise funds to support our school’s physical education and gym improvements.
Thanks to your incredible generosity, we raised $16,300, surpassing our goal and setting a strong foundation for future years.
Read the full event recap here!
All students ran, walked or danced through loops around the school, with a special color-blast finish for middle school.
DJ music, sweatband craft station, water bottle decorating, cheering sections.
Family and friends joined in to support, encourage, and celebrate our students.

Looking Ahead
We’re already excited for next year’s Jog-a-Thon! Stay tuned for how you can participate, volunteer, or sponsor. Together, we’ll keep building our stronger, healthier, joy-filled community.
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.
