Tomorrow is the big day!

Tomorrow 28 runners from the 8 communities that make up the Olympia school district will make the 38 mile trek to Peoria to raise money for the children and families of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

The team is about $4,000 short of the $40,000 goal we set for yourselves this year and we’d love your help in getting there!
