WHAT IS RACE FOR EDUCATION?

It’s a fundraiser built around a jog-a-thon where students, teachers, and staff run or walk for 30 minutes. It’s an energy-filled day with music, laughter & fun for the whole school! All students participating on race day will get a popsicle, too!

WHY WE’RE RAISING FUNDS

We are raising money for school needs including school assemblies, recess equipment and educational programs to enhance learning. Each student has an individual fundraising goal of $50.

Race For Education: Friday, May 10th!
 

On May 10th, OHES students will participate in our annual Race for Education! The Race for Education is a jog-a-thon (or walk-a-thon) for ALL OHES students where each grade will have a designated time to job (or walk) around the side field of the school.

Last year we raised just shy of $40,000 to enrich the lives of Oak Hill students with essential educational items and experiences!
