🐾 Paws in Motion: Panthers on the Move!

Every lap. Every dollar. Every Panther makes a difference.

Get those running shoes ready, Panthers! The St. Bernadette Jog-A-Thon is back, and this year we're going BIG.

On September 18th, St. Bernadette students will arrive at school in their athletic gear, ready to run as many laps as they can before snack. The competition is always fierce, but so is the compassion, and in true St. Bernadette style our students will cheer each other on, running their hardest and supporting each other as they meet their goals. The money they collect will help us maintain our campus, pay our teachers, and purchase the equipment we need to keep our school up to date and ready to serve our vibrant learners.

🎯 THE 2026 CHALLENGE: $300 PER FAMILY

We're challenging every St. Bernadette family to raise $300 or more during this year's Jog-A-Thon!

Each family is responsible for a minimum $200 contribution, but we're encouraging our Panthers to reach higher. Ask grandparents, aunts and uncles, neighbors, family friends, coworkers, and local businesses to join your student's cheering section.

Because when our whole Panther community gets moving, those dollars can add up to something BIG.

🐾 RUN.

📣 ROAR.

💰 RAISE.

❤️ DO IT TOGETHER.

Every lap counts. Every donation counts. And every Panther family is part of making this year's Jog-A-Thon our biggest one yet.
